self-pity in the shower

I feel sorry for myself
and shed a tear.
It rolls off my body
and joins the stream of water in the bathtub
rushing to hide into the dark drain.
I compose myself.
A ridiculous endeavor,
I am naked
as a newborn
alone in the foggy shower.
What might be the point of composure?
What might be the point of pretense?
I feel sorry for myself,
I’ve shed a tear.
Why don’t I shed another
and even many more?
Why don’t I face
my self-centeredness?
Admit to my complaints?
Why pretend to be
something I’m not,
selfless and strong?
The truth hidden within
a shower of droplets
rushing down into the drain,
is that I felt sorry for myself
and shed a tear.
