Trichotellomania

Its a tribute to all those who suffer from Trichotellomania

Trichotillomania

 

The crawling sensation moved in

Selecting the most suitable one

She plucked one & several such

 

There was an unusual pleasure, she experienced

But, Soon the pleasure turned into dismay

As it left her head with Ugly bald patches

 

She covered them with anything that was black.

Ah!

 

Gripped with Pain & shame

She faced the questions of this vindictive world

Some mocked, some passed taunts & some asked her why

 

She took oath & made the covenant with oneself

Never again! she will fall for this temptation

But, shortly surrendered in the wee hours of loneliness

 

  'Drugs, alcohol or smoke any be the addiction

Nothing is miserable than this “obsessive compulsive disorder" ' She exclaimed.

 

Looking at else lustrous hair

She hoped she could have the same

 

The Trichologist said it’s a chemical secretion

The Psychologist said it’s nothing but stress & depression

The counselor said willpower is the only solution.

 

It’s a disease; my friend, she may or may not carry till her grave.

Not sympathy but love we can give, if we really care.

 

Author's Note

I think, this area has always remained unexplored so I have experimented on this. Hope it conveys the message well. Many men & women suffer silently. Our society gives nothing but insult in return. My love to all of them. May Lord help you out & give you enough courage & willpower to battle this.

This one was educating as well showing light to this problem. I have seen few people who have such hair-plucking habit. Now I know why.

Yeah. many men suffer too but I preferred to write about women because they say beauty of a women lies in her hair.
