Kristin Baker Poet I do not know?

Dirty

I scrub myself until I bleed
Just to make sure I'm clean
I rip my skin off
When I've done wrong
Receiving nothing but dirt
From you
Trying not to fade away
Just yet because
My body's numb
My mind is lost
And I feel dirty inside again
I can feel me
Bleeding inside
I can see me
Decaying all around myself
Trying hard not to breath
Because
My body's numb
My mind is lost
And I feel dirty inside again
I scrub myself until I bleed
Just to make sure all the dirt is off of me
