Shampoo Cleanses More Than Hair
I feel like a soldier when I get shampoo in my eyes--
That’s the closest to courage I’ll ever come.
I guess that’s where my anxiety stems from.
I’m harassed by the thought that my bravery is a guise,
because when push comes to shove, I don’t even try,
I fall and wither so easily like the leaves in autumn,
and I think there’s a reason why he left me lonesome.
Maybe it’s because everything I stand for is a lie,
and the only time I am brave is with bloodshot eyes.
