A simple bath

 












There is nothing simple about me. 

A simple bath to relax and soak. 

No, for me it is not that simple

just being there, trying to relax

there is a dark that creeps in 

It starts in the corner of my eyes

and tunnel vision sets in

until there is so little light

And the feeling of intense danger

I just go away

To a place that is safe and warm

far away from any memory or harm

Sometimes I can reach for the light and quickly get out of the so dark place

Other times it's so fast, I get lost and forget to shave a leg or rinse the shampoo

Someday I hope I can just have a bath that is just a bath. 

And there won't be a need for my world to go black.
