Pills

I\'m losing my hair 

No, it\'s not cancer 

It\'s a different kind of darkness 

The kind that they say can be dispelled with pills and therapy 

Pills that cause hairs to fall out prematurely 

Gone before they ever had a chance to truly shine 

\"They were too young, taken from us too soon\" I say at their funeral 

While I causally run a hand through my hair  

And pull out a dozen others just like them

I laugh bitterly as I see the strands of hair in my hand 

It\'s ironic because I used to hate my hair 

Too unruly, always in knots, never the way I wanted it to be 

Seems you only realize what you had once it\'s gone

Yet another thing that pulls me a little further into the darkness 

That these pills were supposed to save me from.
