Spring Clean

Rub and rub over and over      
the stains on the aluminum window sill        
haven't been cleaned for a year.        
        
The black marks stuck so firmly        
and seems no way to remove them        
from the silver surface.        
         
Once I thought they were gone        
they came out again when they dried        
they seemed stronger than I could imagine        
         
Should I give it up and leave them there        
pretending there are no bothers to my life        
then I could still proclaim that          
"Hey, my life is pure! Don't you see it!"        
         
Unfortunately, that would not gonna happen          
A voice told me          
"Are you going to be a coward or a warrior?"        
         
In the end, I twisted my wrists        
by cleaning the stains for 5 hours        
         
The consequence was just passable        
The marks are light gray        
but they won't be removed completely        
         
The lesson I have learned        
Once something gets stained        
it won't be once again
