in the shower

i’ll scrub my skin all raw

trying to numb the ache, all I made was pain

i wonder then when will my heart thaw

unexplainable pain sheltered by heartbreak

fearless folklore follows me towards

streets of melancholy

never in my days have I felt such agony

my brain lacks the harmony

i believed, was part of me

forever dueling one side of my personality,

i wonder which one will make it out unscathed

the one that keeps the pain close to her heart

or the one who hides from it

who’s stronger

who’s wiser

and who would like a headstart?
