Can't Get Clean
Can’t get Clean
Wash
My hands raw
Feel them crawling
Wash
My arms raw
In the shower
Washing for hours
Still feel dirty
Filthy
Wash
My body raw
Looking at the monster
Reflection grotesque
Wash
My face off

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
