She has had enough
Life is too chaotic
She must find a way
To focus on calm
To find clarity again
To once more be centered
She draws a bath
And sinks into the warm waters
The tub like a comforting hug
Breathing deeply
She feels peace
Slowly wash over her
Like sun breaking through
On a cloudy day
She washes away
The ugliness of the day
The hate and lies she’s faced
The evils of society
And the sadness she feels
She stays until the waters grow cold
And she is finally relaxed
Hoping it will last
She steps out
Clinging to the feelings
Of an inner harmony
And she thinks she will make it
Through one more day
