Arizona Muse

Surrounded by white porcelain,
I'm submerged by what takes my life.

Count down, 3.. 2.. 1...

Clothes slowly soak,
tired eyes, shaky breaths.

Perfect complexion, taken over.
Smudged make-up, dazed expression.

I grasped the side of the tub, 
relief in sight.

Desperation is all I've come to.

  5. wow, great picture and great thoughts on what's running through her head! you did change tenses in the poem (but that might have been intentional), but it still sounded awesome.
