Sometimes you just need to shower

Sometimes you just need to shower to be free and sing
Sometimes you need to shower to forget every thing
Sometimes you need to shower to feel like you're young
Sometimes you need to shower because among
Your smiles and giggles there's something seriously wrong
Sometimes you need to shower to drown out your tears 
Sometimes you need to shower to forget your no longer dear
To any one
You're forgotten in your shower of tears
And your curtain of fears
And 
Sometimes you want to be able to see
As if you were a salmon under the sea
Because you know no one knows who you wanna be
And neither do you
You don't know what to say or what to do
They said don't even take another breath 
Because you remind them of pain and of death
Because besides, you're all alone
Miserable to the bone
You think you have the shower
The warm, soothing drops
But each of these swims down the drain 
And it drives you insane
How not even the water in your shower will love you
And then your tears escape too
And there's no one there left for you
So
Sometimes you just need to shower
Sometimes you just need to shower and cry it out
Because without a doubt you'll always feel emotion in this potion 
Of life
But
Some day you'll just need to step out of the shower
And pick a pretty flower
And get back on track
Because as mom always said
"Come out of the shower you can't stay for an hour honey, you're using to much water we'll run out of power"
