Soap and Scum

Crawling and clawing
Through the disgust.
Frantically searching for
The virtue I lost.

Naked and dirty,
Trying to stand.
Slipping and sliding,
Falling again.

Rinse me off
And wash me clean.
Scour my soul,
Scrub till it bleeds.

Grant me the strength,
To thrive on my own.
Help me believe,
I can make it alone.
