My Hair

Today, I curled my hair

coiled every ringlet,

and when you asked to feel it,

and when you asked to keep it,

I pulled some out for you.

 

Today, I dyed my hair

bleached every strand,

and when you called it “so bland”

and when you called it “so bad”

I pulled some out again.

 

Today, I crimped my hair

heating every skein,

but then you called me insane,

and told everyone I’m vain,

So I pulled more again.

 

Today, I did nothing

hoping you would cease,

but you laughed at my techniques,

and you pointed out the grease.

 

So I grabbed all your hair

I pulled it and pulled it 

until you felt like me,

because you didn’t foresee,

and didn’t think I’d be 

capable of despise.
