dirty laundry

[kimkicksbootie]

and they put her dirty laundry
out in the open

so everybody could see
all the stains that

had gathered there over
the years that she

tried so hard to wash
away with tears
and drink
and drug
and life

drowning in a mountain of clothes
she cries
helplessly reaching out
for anyone
anything
to help

somehow she can't give up
though the signs point to yes
somehow she can't stop
believing that all stains will fade

with time.
