The ever growing extension of me
coiling wild, healthy, and free
The way it was intended to be.
Naturally me.
What you’re getting is what you see.
Beautifully, genuinely, intensely, naturally me.
I love me
enough not to wear parts from another’s anatomy
Satisfied with the color, texture, and length that God gave me.
Forgive me if I am not as pretty as I could be
because I don’t wear my hair like the majority of society and my community.
But I refuse to sit back and die slowly
altering my beauty because of what you may think of me.
