In this bathtub

this bathtub
I trace over my skin
And let the water free me

In this bathtub
I am inhumanly gorgeous
And I do not know why

In this bathtub
I scrub my past away
But by the time I'm dressed
She's back

I think I know this feeling well. I often feel like I look my best right out of a shower or bath. I have a smidge of confidence then. Don't know where it comes from or why it's the bath/shower that makes it happen.

I also really love staying in a hot bath as long as possible. Get to relax and just be no one for a while, be unseen and a part of the water for a while.

Thank you for sharing,
Kelsey
