30 Poems in 30 Days 2023: A Different Hat (Day 7)
Photo by Christy V.
My chemo journey was mine
I wasn’t going to accept another path
No shaving my hair for a bald head
If I would lose my hair, it would
There were scarfs and wraps
They weren’t me no matter the color
Others could choose that path, but not me
Hats have always been me
So finding one for my journey
Made sense it would feel right to me
Soft corduroy black with a touch of brown
Felt perfectly Greek to me
No matter the pain or struggle
In this journey, I would be me
A simple cap for some, but normality
As I put on a different hat
