    about my entry

    i am not a cutter or suicidal but i do suffer from a disease called trichotillamania, Long story short, it's severe hair pulling which i've been doing since the age of 5 (now 47). This poem is an attempt to begin to heal myself from this monster. Some people may read into my poem some things that are not really there, Like hurting myself. Just wanted to help you understand. Tyvm for letting me bend your ear. Peace Chrissy
