Hair
Grows back
Has memories
Carries baggage
Gets cut
Gets abused
Gets washed
But never washes away
The memories
The baggage
Hair
Grows back

Thank you so much! I got a haircut in march to rid me of my baggage and I feel like it helped but then I realized that it's not the hair the carries the baggage, that's just part of it. The real baggage is in my mind and THAT is what inspired me to write the poem.
