I'm screaming inside of myself.
Nothing is stopping the pain,
but the skin on my soul.

I'm in a uniform,
I'm in my jeans,
I'm in my night clothes,
I'm naked under water,

The desire to cry out
Tear's at my throat,
To yell anything into the void,
To release the shame,
the embarrassment,
angst and anxiety.

Tell myself it will be "OK".
After all, it's just today.

It's just a day.
