Anxiety -Frida Kahlo Contest

I sit here Hair all around I am shorn My hair has gone But my anxiety remains Why? Why do I feel so useless Why do I feel that I have been torn apart Only to be put back together With a hole where my soul once lived So I cut my hair To be free I am not free I am without. Now I must paint Draw my soul To return it to its place Will I then be free of my anxiety. Painting: Self portrait with cropped hair

This is a beautifully written write my friend! I am so very impressed with the way you have put together this illustrious poem! I really enjoyed reading this amazing piece this evening! Sorry I haven't been around the past couple of days, my grandmother died on Friday, it is so sad, she had emphysema so bad she just lost her breath and passed away by the struggle to just breath! What a brilliant verse, Great Work!!
