Shower

Scalding hot water rushes from the shower head

Steam settles over the bathroom

I settle myself on the shower floor

Why don't you like me

Why don't you love me

Why don't you care

A tear rolls down my cheek

Why can't I like me

Why can't I love me

Why can't I care

A sob escapes my mouth

The shower sounds deafen myself and others to this act

The scald of the water attempts to change my focus

Why don't.....

I claw at my own flesh

Why can't.....

I slam my hand unto the steamy tiles

I'm sorry

I'm sorry.
