The Shower

Written right after "My Bed...i'm afraid". Don't worry, it's clean...no pun intended

The warm trickle of water
over my bare skin
The experience of the day
Being rinsed from my hair

I'm soothed
while my mind remains active
It's the perfect time to think
An easy time to reflect on my life

I lather my hair
Singing to myself
My passion in synch with the flow of water
Pausing to let it come off

I gently scrape my skin
Taking away the old
Plotting conversations to influence my days
My mind clears as the soap disappears

That stubborn mark of adolescence and stress
Creaming it up to free myself
What is my next move?
free myself from the rest

The final moments of soothing heat
Reminiscing my thoughts
organizing everything in my head
I love a good shower

Author's Note

It's a bittersweet thought

If you would like to improve this poem, omit lines 2 and 3 in stanza 6.
This is a good poem. The last line ties it up beautifully, and 2 lines would make it more emphatic........
I could rate it higher if you would use some poetic devices.... look up 'how to
write free verse' on google. You have talent; I would like to see it perfected.
