by Alexandra S., 16
it’s like tangled hair
tied up in knots
not knowing how much hair you’re losing
or how to get rid of those knots
hoping it untangles itself
but before you know it
you’re frustrated
which leads you to cry
and now suddenly
you’re on the floor crying
not because of the knots in your hair
but because the ones that are breaking you
inside
and in your head
as much as you want to untangle
it doesn’t happen
so you’re left crying
just like when you
were little.
