CUT

Haircuts can change your life

So I cut it all off

That's enough already

I said

I caught my breath

as the strands hit the floor

Thought At least I wasn't dead

Didn't lose my hair to the cancer or chemo

Good thing right?

Not until you try to sleep through the night

those Strands on the floor were

who I used to be

It was time to re-create

And without the go ahead from My Son

or My Husband

I did what I had to do to retaliate

Sometimes it takes a subtle act of non aggressive

aggression to be

Heard

I cut my hair tonite

Didn't need to lose it

Every ounce of courage was earned

And now I'm here

For Real

All CUT and New

How's about you?
