Everyday when she bathed,
she scrubbed her body
hard as possible,
to remove all the mud that they threw at her,
all the black paint that they threw on her face,
but no matter how much she scrubbed and washed herself up,
it didn't come off,
for the mud and the black paint had now reached up,
deep in her soul,
deep in her body.
