My Alopecia Universalis Poem


I wake up in the morning and to my surprise
I run my fingers thru my hair, could this all be lies?
Was I some kind of experiment, is this some sick joke
I had hair before I went to bed, before I awoke.
Gone in a flash without no warning,
Is this a nightmare, surely it can't be morning!
I run to the mirror the sight is appalling,
My head in my hands I drop to my knees and start bawling.
How'd this happen? Why me? Can you please give it back?
In the blink of an eye my own immune system begins to attack!
Long blonde, sometimes curly, or worn in a pony
I can't wear this wig, it isn't me it's phony!
What am I to do, what will everyone say?
My hair defined how I was feeling that day.
I didn't ask for this battle, I wasn't ready to fight,
So I choose to stay locked in my house and out if sight.
You haven't walked in my shoes, you don't know how I feel inside
I just want to curl up in a ball in the corner and hide.
When I go to shopping or just to get gas people stare,
It pisses me off and I feel like screaming I know I have no fucking hair!

Love it! Do you mean "bawling," as in crying?

A very powerful poem, I like the immune part and the last line.
Perhaps I could come up with another rhyme?

to make you feel the opposite of screaming
so your head may stop steaming.

hope my poem made you smile,
even if for a little while!

Thx you Dave! I'm no longer so distraught. In the last 8 months I have lost 115 lbs and have made great strides on better self esteem. I feel great! I smile often and actually am a very positive thinker :)
