Array ( [sid] => 50888 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => I've Shaved My Head [time] => 2004-06-07 22:21:17 [hometext] => This is about doing what you have to to get rid of old anger and hate and dead relationships even if other people don't like it...hard to explain. [bodytext] => I shaved my head today
I let everything go away
Today I wanted to say
"I think I'm a different person today"
And now I'm standing here
Looking at my hair
Lying there on my linoleum floor
I know you said you care
You told me "Don't you dare"
Well I did, now you won't look at me
And I'm thinking about how stupid I was
But I'm so glad it's all gone

I shaved my head today
To see if it would work
Throwing everything away
And after all the time it took
I know you can't even bare to look
But I feel a little bit better
Everything spread out before me now
Lying helpless there on the ground
I think I see clearly now
Though I'm still so confused

I shaved my head
I pick up a strand,
Hold it in my hand
Damn! How stupid I have been
But it does feel good
Send me an answer,
Why didn't you then?

Nice Write sorry bout your head though.
Personally I LIKE HAIR on PEOPLES Heads.
The only reasonable reason to shave ones head is to hid Bald comin in. :-)

Nice thing is IT WILL GROW Back.
Nice write.

Thanks for all the compliments guys but I need to clear this up: it's not really about shaving your head. I know it's a weird poem and I don't know why I used that as a metaphor but I just did. It's about forgetting all the stupid, pointless, painful stuff that's hurting you inside and getting on with your life. I know it's weird...but anyway...yeah, thanks again.

I see it...amazing...you are a genius..metaphor..some cultures carry this out to get rid of their SINS!!!...but you gave it wider meaning...cant wait to read your future metaphors...
