I Don't Want to Take a Shower!

I'm depressed

I don't want to take a shower

I don't want to move

I don't have the power

I smell like a gorilla

I feel weak, no longer strong

Maybe myself I should "killa"

I don't at all belong

My hair is dirty, limp, and lifeless

Just like me

I have no motivation

Thank goodness I can't be seen

I don't care to go through the motions

Of washing my hair and cleaning my bod

I prefer to toss and turn in my stinky bed

With the covers over my sleepy head

Soap and shampoo torment my itchy skin

I don't want to scrub them in

It takes too much effort

Is that a sin?

I don't want to be attacked by water

I just want to be left alone

I hyperventilate in the shower

The thought of it makes me groan

I don't want to take a shower

But I must take one tomorrow

I have an appointment with my therapist

To tell her of all my sorrow.
