give me
hydrogen peroxide
and chlorine
give me industrial
strength soap
maybe that will clean
this mess up
cover me in it
pour it down
I promise I’ll swallow
make me pure and
white and beautiful
make me clean
give me the brush
and I will scrub my skin
clean
maybe make way
for a new skin entirely
the smell of chlorine
once repulsive
is almost pleasant
to me now
as I let the acid
melt my skin off
drown me
until only bones
clean, smooth, lovely
white bones
stick out of a
puddle
don’t worry
I'm a professional
I know what I’m doing
