Comely..

No. It shamed me to build you up. I am not a victim. Since when? ‘Nitz’….

Did your curl become a bush, of a thistle?

Since when did you need definition?

Since when did your beautiful soft mass become a scorn?

Broken, cut, hidden enough to become a cushion of scorn to sit on?

So broken instead of a beautiful mass, of a mess, that rested on the pillow to run down your back in coils, an Afro and crown.

It was… a laughingstock cut, 🤭to make a pillow cushion…because history judged you..
