Screaming and screaming.
It seemed to be torture and evil snipping at me.
Pieces of me are falling to the ground.
I see my thin strands strangled and lifeless
laying on the ground
and my mom says to me,
"Honey, your haircut looks wonderful!"

And then everything is okay.

This poem is a childish rendition of a simple task, garishly shown with the fear and panic we all experienced as children.
