A haircut

A girl only cuts her hair under two circumstances.

Mark my words. Or maybe not.

It's either she's hurt or her hair pisses her.

A breakup, a loss, a trauma.

Her first attempt to seek comfort.

Her hair.

Somehow, when the scissors glaze through that hair she carried for so long, it lifts her of her suffering.

Briefly.

As she watch her hair she so adore

fall to the cold hard ground

Something inside her tells her she gotta do the same

The same with the emotional baggage in her heart.

Or mind.
