Let's Do This

I'm afraid to shower
Cuz then my insides will be crappier

Maybe I'm meant to see it
Perhaps that's as it should be
 
My impulse, so narcissistic
My worries, for the most basic
My memories, oh so depressing
My image, oh so pathetic

I soliloquize in plural  
To cope with a thought so brutal
That there is no version of me, 
Not even one
That I can ever truly love.
