Self Care

Clothes unwashed

Your hair is a mess

Why on earth were you wearing that dress?

Bath tub running

Candles lit

Wash it away, they said

“Don’t have an anxious fit”

Submerged in warmth

That runs over the edge

Keep sinking

Keep sinking

You’re almost there

Under the water, no one knows you’re a wreck

Not too far now

Leave room for a breath

Wash it away, they said

The liquid covers your mouth

Nothing like a bath

To remove that self doubt

Wash your face

Dry your eyes

Though under the water

No tears can be cried

Keep quiet now, girl

Dry off

Act normal

You know you’re probably just being “hormonal”
