Soaked In Sadness

I went to my tub Turned on the tap Watched as my sadness Filled it to the top The worries of many days In the water crystal clear displayed Deep beneath the surface layed Summoning to me Please come in I stripped down To my essence The discarded garments In a pile on the floor The yesterday man I didn't need anymore I climbed in Sunk into the sadness Allowed it to caress Warm Somehow comfort As it washed over me Invigorating my complacency Calming Saving Staving off My insanity This was my attempt At C'est La Vie Layers of yesterday's regrets The calls of unpaid debts The reasons I choose to be upset All caught in liquid suspension Relieving my built up tension Once I was fully cleansed I was able to begin again Pulling the plug I watched it all go down the drain Extricating Relieving the pain I lifted myself Dripping on the floor Done with the sadness I didn't need it anymore I stepped over the clothes On the floor Left them behind Walked out that door Ready and willing To face the world again A brighter Cleaner Version of me An empty tub Happier And free C'est La Vie Inspired by Eileen Ghali's poem "Maddening Rain"
