For Reasons Unknown

I cut my hair myself as a form of control.

By Ashley DeyPublished 9 years ago • 1 min read

This could be described as a mental breakdown

I stare at my reflection in the mirror

As I calmly, surely cut away at my hair

I’m not sure why I needed to do it

But I needed to do it

Right then and there

Maybe I needed to because it was a way of having control

In a life that has always been taking it away from me

Maybe I needed some change on the outside

To reflect the big changes going on within me

Or maybe I don’t have a reason at all
