I Once Hated My Curly Hair
An ode to that which I've come to love
Fluffy, frizzy, loose, and tight
Yes, they're natural, alright!
***
Thick and warm for winter days
Cut them short for summer heat waves
***
You drink up all the water and conditioner
Add some gel to keep frizz my prisoner
***
Flip you over and massage the roots
In a matter of seconds, I've got a poof!
***
Each strand with its own personality
A variety from my Irish nationality
***
To express my creativity
I clip you up into captivity
***
Twists or braids along the sides
Donned with jewelry of all kinds
***
Why did I ever brush you out
As a child, I'd scream and shout
***
Funny how genetics decide
Those repressed and those applied
***
My three siblings have hair so straight
One would never guess they carried the trait
***
To think I used to loathe my curls
Wanting to look more like other girls
***
But when I learned the proper care
You bounced back from frizzy to curly hair
***
Sure, you take extra work each day
But I live for that amazing display
***
So, thank you curly Q's, twists, and springs
For all the creativity your craziness brings
***
Curls or kinks, if you have them too
Know you're beautiful through and through

It started with FFX fanfiction stories and my love for creating a world to escape to when reality's teeth sank in too deep. I'm an artist, a dreamer, and a soon to be published author! :D
