Analysis of Given hair
Her hair long, thick and full
the sun caress her locks
makes it shine like gold
she looks at herself in the river
Enjoying herself for a while
the sun starts to fade
slowly she walks back
at home going upstairs
She feels really lucky
with this gorgeous hair
specially because
it is not really hers
She sits down before the mirror
sighs and looks at herself
before she takes of her wig
seeing herself, a baldhead girl
Tomorrow the last chemotherapy
she's getting better now
so hopefully it grows back
before her time has come
