Got home and went through almost an entire bar of soap, aimlessly scrubbing, subconciously erasing, passionately scalding myself. Blood collecting at the drain, what the fuck? Somehow I stepped on a razor and didn't even realize. My skin is mottled, my chest is hot, I choke on steam. Gag. I hate being alive right now. I try to cry, try to call up some sort of emotion, but the shower is too wet, go figure, my tearducts resist, and I resign myself to a rough yellow towel with dye stains.
I lie wet and half naked, sprawled across plush comforters and dirty laundry. I turn the fan on, in December, and feel my hair stiffen, start to freeze. It's easier to hate life when you make yourself uncomfortable.
Shit, I never got a band aid, there's blood all over my carpet, and my foot stings from the fuzz stuck to it. I throw on pajamas, hobble back to the bathroom, stare at my reflection through the evaporating steam and cry all over again. I want to get back in the shower but I used all of the hot water up. I want to call you but I've been too busy pushing you away to remember your number. I want to clean my room but I can't find a starting point. I want a lot of things but I've never been successful at list making.
