For so long
I have been numb
to the state of my life.
So when evening came,
I stood under the showerhead
and let the water burn my skin.
It hurt against me
but at the same time
it felt good.
I felt like I was alive
for the first time in months,
my skin awakened by pain.
I bake cookies. And eat them.
I bake cookies. And eat them. It's bad for me, but I am wakened as the sugar rushes. - slc
