Judge me. Cover me in snot and sweat.  
Every inch of my body saturated with wretch inducing juices. 
Can you imagine why I do this to myself? 
It is always about you.  
My vulnerable flesh lay bare for your gaze to mutate and decipher. 
I feel you on my cold lumpy surface. 
Forgive me. I should have known you would not understand. 
My filth is personal, you should not be subjected to it. 
Unless… maybe you crave that sickening self sabotage I am so good at. 
Maybe you are used to peeling off the same scab of embarrassment.
Maybe you are better at hiding it. 
Purify me. Wipe the dirt into the crevices and forget it was there. 
Push the bile back into my mouth. 
Smell my effervescent toes wriggling on the floor. 
Imagine I have never been this dirty before. 
Clear the tendrils from my forehead. 
Your righteous hand extending to my squeaky shoulder.
