Dirty Laundry

Today is my
come clean day,
my moment to
wash away my regrets.


It's time to air out
my dirty laundry,
wring my hands
of these secrets.


I must stop being
so wishy-washy,
get out of this
unending cycle.


Bleach my mistakes
and become
more gentle
with myself.


I have to be pressed
under pressure
until the truth
tumbles out.
