“Because I’m bald, right?”
She nodded hesitantly, trying not to hurt him,

Silence did the rest.

Bald = unloved. Simple math.


He fought it.

Creams. Pills. Surgery.

A year of becoming someone else.

The hair came back. Self worth didn't.



He knocked again.

“I'm not bald anymore.”

She looked at him, he’d missed the point.

“It wasn’t the hair,” she said, gently.


She took a step closer.

Just the truth standing between them.

"I almost loved you," her voice barely a whisper,

"But you did not."



He didn’t know what cut deeper —

Her words, or how she handed them to him,

Or the truth that had always been there,

Quiet in the corner, waiting to be seen.



It wasn’t the baldness.

It was the fear that he wasn’t enough.

And that’s what she saw,

Not a man without hair, but a man without peace.



For peace isn’t found in the fixing.

It is found in accepting

Your flaws, your fears,

And in the belief that you are enough.

Even if the hair never grows back.”
Shon Mehta, The Uncharted Mind
