    Showers

    I shower 
    Every day 
    And though this may not seem
    Like a significant accomplishment
    It is
    
                          
    You see,
    I have showered
    Every single day 
    Of freshman semester 
    I have showered 
    While I cried
    I have showered almost entirely 
    Asleep
    I've showered at
    1am
    And at 3 in the morning
    I have showered eyes puffy 
    And raw from sobbing
    I have showered
    When it overwhelmed me to 
    Simply walk
    13 steps to the shower
    I have showered 
    When I thought I
    Would just crumple up
    And die 
    I have showered 
    And put myself to bed
    Every
    Single 
    Night
    
                          
    And I have suffered 
    Some nights
    Many nights
    It feels like
    Yet amid my suffering
    When I could not push on
    When I could not 
    Even make it off my floor
    I have managed to get up
    To shower
    And to put myself to bed 
    
                          
    I have ended every day 
    Clean 
    Showered
    Taken care of
    And I am proud of myself
