My sister always wore her hair in braids
She would weave them in straight lines
like static patterns
that should never be interrupted.
Her jawline was the perfect picture
Of unexpressed emotions,
Kinks Curls Twist Turns and Tangles
The perfect image gets mangled in a passing glance
"Why did you cut your hair?"
"Heat damage." I'd say. In reality I was hiding behind the volume of my mane. I was tired of answering to the other girls,thought it was better to cut my curls.
I have vicious curls that spiral and snare,
People look ghastly at my wild hair.
These curls don't care and they don't want your words
in their eyes hypocrisy is for birds.
