Sometimes loving yourself is shaving your head
Despite the fact that the world says you shouldn't
Despite the fact that some of your friends don't understand
Despite the fact that people give you a wide berth as if you were a cancer patient
Despite the fact that some outright stare

Sometimes loving yourself is shaving your head
Because it stops you from looking in the mirror and loathing what you see
Because it stops you from wanting to take a razor to it yourself out of sheer frustration
Because it stops the voices in your head screaming not good enough, never good enough.

Sometimes loving yourself is shaving your head because it let's the you you once believed in shine again for the first time on years.
