When I shave
My face feels child-soft
It doesn't surprise me
That some people shave obsessively.
Some people
Are desperate to go back
To when they grew no hair
And were happy.
I have a beard
To let me know that
It's over
And I was never happy back then
Anyway.


No sense crying over grown hair.
Neha D Aug 2014
I am seated atop a salon chair,
Come hither merciless thread,
And rip out my upper lip hair,
Until my skin turns crimson red.
Pluck it all out,
From the corners of my mouth,
To the point below my nose,
While I hold a sturdy pose,
Or display a duck-faced pout.
Pluck it out from below my chin,
pierce all areas of my skin,
Shape my eyebrows; overgrown,
show the world, parts of my face they've never known.
Be a good thread and shred,
All unruly growth off my face,
Before it grows and spreads all over the place.

— The End —
