Soak

Everything is temporary.
I speak in this tone
that brings home the fact
Life can be so dull.
It’s not all excitement of
laughter and kisses,
making money, being popular.
Sometimes,
Well, sometimes it is just
a warm soapy bath being
filled with tears of salt
to help heal your bones,
while you wish you were anywhere
but soaking in whatever this is.
