How Do I Tell My Friends I Sit in the Shower?

I sit in the shower, wishing for my brain to work the way it should. I sit in the shower and let the water beat against my face, hoping that will drown out my thoughts and insecurities. I sit in the shower and cry because I know no one will hear me. I sit in the shower and question my importance here. I sit in the shower and gag myself while I sob quietly. I sit in the shower and take apart razor blades and let them dance across my wrists so that I will stop numbly staring at the shower wall. I sit in the shower and wonder, if I should really be here tomorrow. So, how do I tell my friends I sit in the shower?
