Scrubbing

This is story draws heavily from my own experiences and my own feelings. Sometimes, I feel like people ignore what it's like right now, for people like me. Technically I'm fine. I feel disconnected from it all. But it still lingers in my mind, it weighs down on me, eats the peace I previous had. I can't change myself, even if I wanted to. I can't scrub off the dirt. I wanted to capture the helplessness of the feeling. The lack of commitment to change that can't happen, but that other's want to happen. The pointless demands, the threats, and the way they would uproot my whole life if carried out. I had to get it out there.

It means to explore yourself, your thoughts, your passions, the very essence of being human, in the way which calls the most to you. Anything that required any amount of human ingenuity and innovation and curiosity really could be creativity. It's just something so fundamentally human.
