I should stop writing graffiti
on the shower wall
because it just washes off
when the condensation melts
but the memory stains anyway
maybe I was creative
maybe I was a star in an empty sky
that young little girl held my hand
I loved so hard, but I let it go
so she could paint the path behind me
maybe I was imaginative
maybe I was innocent
that older woman held out her hand
but I walked away
I'm sorry, I really want to be
do I know what for? no
I should stop screaming
into a closed vacuum
because they're watching my words
as my lips purse and my cheeks redden
across the one-sided mirror
maybe I said no
but I really meant maybe
I was someone else
when she hugged my waist
but I pushed her down
a rabbit hole I didn't know was there
I'm sorry, I really am
do I know what for? no.
