Today Has Been Okay

Folder: 
RORY

Tonight in my shower I scrubbed

Every inch of my skin until it was raw,

And my arms ached from the process.



And I curled up and cried.

I wanted it to end, to have never begun.

And as I pressed against the wall,

I thought, 'Today has been okay.'



I washed myself from the suds,

And wondered if I was depressed;

Pressed my forehead against the cold faucet,

And thought, 'Today has been okay.'



And as the cool air reached my body,

I didn't mind like usual.

Hot or cold, it didn't matter.

And then thought, 'Today has been okay.'



I wrapped the towel around me,

Shook my hair, and walked into my room,

Where I found a picture of you.

And for what it's worth,

I thought today has been okay.
