No. 30. Hair growth

Later on,

when she is no longer bedridden,

tied to the bed

for long periods,

her hair,

the girl's hair,

can be allowed to grow

and become long.

And she can have

a ponytail

and braid

her long,

thick,

beautiful hair.

Yes, in time,

far in the future,

she can

compensate

for the short,

the super short

bedbound

hairstyle,

when her hair has grown out

and become so long

that she can

donate

her long hair

to wigs

for children with cancer.

She has an organ,

a healthy organ,

that grows back

and can be donated

time and time again.

To some other sick girl.

Maybe she should write

an organ donation certificate

for her hair,

when she's dead

and doesn't need any hair anymore.

Neither long nor short.

These poems are originally written in Swedish and translated by myself. So if the translation sounds weird - please just laugh, or cry, or just shake your head and move on to the next poem, hoping for a better translation there... Thank you for your patience, and for following my story! By the way - my lyrics sometimes sounds weird in Swedish too...
