Survivors Poem

Water Bound

 

I grieve in the shower

I wish I could wash it off

It's hard to recover

When you've barely uncovered

The depths of desolation

What is life

Maybe it's all in the moments

Lost to survival

It's hard to recover

When you can't afford to stop

No time to grieve

Not the right place

Not those people

Confused and angry

In the slow blinks of my eyes

Nowhere to put it

But in my cries

Why does it always hurt more in the shower

When the thoughts flow

Like the water I waste

Trying to forget the time and place 

Where you stole my everything

And left me to another pace

Break me down just to build me up you said 

But all you did was hate 

Why does it always hurt more in the shower
