Calm.

Standing, alone- in my shower.
Hot water scorches my bare back;
All I want is a moment of calm, collected, silence.
Deep breath.
This is where I let go.
Steam creating droplets on my face, mixing with the crystals flowing from my eyes.
Sometimes my body cries about nothing;
It's ok to be emotional for no reason.
Chills run down my spine, each specific vertabrate feels it.
Standing, alone-
my moment of silence.
In the background I hear a twang of notes-
but it's just a faint, silent, melody-
white noise.

I just want my mind to be at peace, and my soul to be calm.
Is that so much to ask?
Rest sweet soul- let yourself get carried away in the white noise.
