Shower

A Poem by Nick M.

A simple and overlooked joy of the world.

I long for a shower at the end of every day,

I long for the moment when I can drift away,

I've made it to the bathroom, the clothes are on the floor,

One last glance behind me to make sure I locked the door,

The second I step into that shower I smile,

You best not wait on me, Ill be here for a while,

When you think of a shower you think of getting clean,

I think of that too but that's not the only thing,

I think of how I will finally be alone,

Away from the world's mind-numbing drone,

I turn the nob and the water starts to flow,

Its best feeling in the world that I will ever know,

The water falls down imitating the rain,

Maybe that's why I like it, it all feels the same,

But see, my shower is special and only I know why,

Its the only place that I can both laugh and cry,

I'm the best singer in the world when that water is on,

I dance better than Mikey even though he is gone,

I am a completely different person when I take a shower,

Its already been thirty minutes, wait no...an hour?!

Well time does fly when you're having fun,

I'm gonna finish my shower now, hopefully I never get done.
