To Feel Clean
By: Cece Paradis
If you sit alone
in a room of people are you really
alone?
Or is it just
the feeling of loneliness that
lingers?
On my clothes,
in my hair,
through my eyes it
lingers.
Is it escapable?
One day
I will take a shower
for days, and
wash the putrid scent off.
If I could
just make it
to the
faucet.

Writer's Statement: I hope that my readers can relate to this feeling of feeling a little lost about where to start to just move on.
