trich

talk of trichotillomania

"why don't you just stop?" they say
it's like my hands have a mind of they're own
i pick and i pull because
i simply cannot stop
as the huge bald spots begin to form
my hands will not stop
my mind is racing
my hands are shaking
because my mind has tricked me into thinking i only have a certain amount of time to find the right strand of hair with the right texture or else my life will
end.
is what it seems like.
