Coming Clean
Scrub the filth, but my inside is still dirty. I hope it doesn't show through. I hold my soap firmly. The muck in my lungs spew. Scrub the residue that spilth. I'm never clean. Now the blood plasters my thighs. My protective sheen. A barrier to his eyes. Though now I must purge, my dirt must not emerge.
