There are days I take a shower
Even when I don't really want to
Just so when I cry
You can't hear the whimpers
You can't see the tears
Because I don't know why I cry out
But I feel so much of an urge to do it
And because you won't understand that
I have to hide
I have to shower
I have to wish I could stop
I have to let the tears fall where they may
Because if I don't let it out
It will eat at me
Until I want to die
Until I want to be free
Until I want to brand, cut or scream out
Lashing out at you
The you who protects me
Makes me feel safe from harm
And so each time I seek my sanctuary
In the falling waters
My tears may fall
My whimpers go unnoticed
My crying is still unheard.
