A stain for someone else to clean

[helensmuse]

I want to climb right out of myself
and stand next to the shell of my life
kick it over
and laugh
as the words of conversations past spill and ooze away
Jump up and down on the shame and guilt,
thick as shit,
stuck to the rim
38 years just left
as a puddle of the past
a collapsed carcass resembling me

After reading this, I'm hesitant to comment: I don't want to intrude on the thought.

Well done! I saw the body like a chocolate easter bunny, but not made of chocolate, or looking like a bunny. More like a lizard skin, but not translucent. Wow.

See why I didn't want to comment?

Cool.
