This is to my friend who has a condition called Alopecia areata (AA). To put it simply, it is an autoimmune disorder condition where hair is lost, usually from the scalp. Emotional stress might trigger such a condition. It isn't contagious, but till now, there is no known cure to date.
Here, I would like to applaud my friend for being brave and not hiding it all up. I'm sure it hurts sometimes, both physically and emotionally, but at least it shows he's not socially uncomfortable, and he's facing this condition face-to-face. I am also proud of him for his determination and strong will, that there will be a cure in the near future.
I slightly tweaked the lyrics for this song, A Little Bit Longer by Jonas Brothers.
A Little Bit Longer
Got the news that day
But they said you had to stay
A Little Bit Longer, and you'll be fine
When I thought it'd all been done,
When I thought it all been said,
A Little Bit Longer, and you'll be fine.
But they don't know what they've got, 'til it's gone
And they don't know what it's like, to feel so, low
And everytime they smile, they laugh, they glow,
They won't even know, know, know
They don't even know...
All this time goes by
Still no reason why
A Little Bit Longer, and you'll be fine.
Waitin' on a cure
But none of them are sure
A Little Bit Longer, and you'll be fine.
But they don't know what you've got, 'til it's gone
They don't know what it's like, to feel so, low.
And everytime they smile, they laugh, they glow
They won't even know, know, know.
They won't even know, know, know.
They don't even know, know, no...(don't they?!)
And they don't know what they got 'til it's gone.
Don't know what it's like to feel so, low...oh yea
And everytime they smile they laugh they glow
They don't even know, oh
So I'll wait 'til kingdom come.
All the highs and lows are gone.
A Little Bit Longer, and I'll be fine.
I'll be...fine.
