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.

MD, hang in there... I adore this little soliloquy... thanks for letting us peek in at your... shall we call in frustration?
Thank you! It helps to turn my frustration into something pretty. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Hair, who needs it, I'm sure you are beautiful with or without it,
I'm sorry about everything you are going through,
I used to be stuck in darkness due to my abusive past,
And my depression and anxiety and borderline personality disorder didn't help either, it took me fully trusting in God and saying , ok Lord I know you love me and have plans for me, why am I going through this,I give my life to you to do what you will, lead me where you want me to go,
So He did, He gave me a way and got me out of there, now I'm condition free and actually happy, which is very strange for me, because I've never been truly happy until the day I left home
