Shampoo For Rapunzel Poem by Broken Shell

It may start innocently as children pretend at play to escape boredom
then evolves insidiously as pretense to escape confession.

Built fortresses of proud walls to keep out the scorn and rejection.
Defense mechanisms.

is the declaration, 'I don't care what anyone else thinks.'

You think that's controversial?

You'd bet...

but not if you could see my hand.

So now it's just ironic.
