Why I Love So Hard…

When I was ten, she cut my favorite Barbies hair. She cut it so short, the doll was bald in most parts, where you could see her rubber scalp. She showed it to me. “Isn’t she pretty?” She asked. I was holding my anxiety at bay & trying not to cry. How do you answer that? What answer was she expecting? What answer would be the right one? When I was little she would always keep my hair short. Like a boy.
