Unclean

Vigorously I scrub
Run my fingers
Through the scalp
Of my wet hair
Froth up the suds
Of fragrant shampoo
Wash my body
Scrubbing
It's never enough
You won't go away
You're in my skin
Deep within my bones
Fused to my cells
I can't be rid of you
I'll shower every hour
Of every day
If it means
That I can be clean again
