Trichotillomania

For years he's been doing it.
And its starting to show.
More patches are missing
Than he ever could know.

He's trying to stop,
And it's really not easy.
He's fighting and losing,
Now they're pointing and teasing.

Maybe if he thinks
"Keep the hands off the head",
The hair will grow back,
And not come out instead.

Or maybe if his friends
Hit him when he picks,
This whole nightmare will end
Without more painful tricks.

His parents don't understand,
They just tell him to stop,
Like it's that easy,
But they don't know it's not.

Now He's ready to give up,
He's fed up and done.
Cause he doesn't believe,
This can be overcome.
