Can Dress Myself

I cleaned my room today. I put it all away.

The stench of stale urine remains, but the clothes are away.

I can open my cupboard and dress myself.

Because I can see what’s in front of me.

It’s not such a chore now, to leave the house.

Because I can dress myself.

I can dress myself alone.

I hung up my skin today.

I put my veins away.

Neatly folded.

Because I can dress myself.

I can take it all away.

Its holding me down, the thread wraps itself around me until I drown.
