The shower is safe
Its quiet but just loud enough to muffle the scary thoughts, the ones that are loud. All the time.
Sometimes I wish I could slip down the drain.
I wish the water could melt my skin away and dissolve my bones. I wish it would leave me with a single eye and a singe ear.
The eye would enjoy the darkness that stretches all around
The ear would enjoy the thump of the water and the sound of nothing else
I wouldn't have to feel anything anymore. Because eyes and ears don't have souls.
