PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I washed myself

And scrubbed the grime

But it was within me

It was inside me all this time

The shower drain got clogged

With everything I tried to brush off

And the bathroom began filling with water

I swam to the ceiling, pressed on the roof

I swam for the doorknob

Tried to jiggle it loose

But it was too late

I was trapped in the bathroom

Doomed to a watery fate

The window was locked, the tile was cracking

I guess I accepted my demise

But it’s hard to say

You aren’t thinking clearly

When you’re thinking that way

So I took a big gulp

And coughed out the same

I died in the bathroom

And it was pretty lame
