Our Crowns Deserve Better
A Poem about our black crowns
Pressing and the fear of water has gotten to
depressing
Our 4c damaged curls cling to life
As we try to get them to reach past our shoulders
Coconut oil and edge control will only do so much
Burning and feeling accepted in society can only last so long
Our crowns deserve better
Longer and not stronger is the goal
Curls that make young girls envy are the goal
Scalps that guys will approve of are the goal
What happen to guys type being shy and not 3a
What happen to enjoying the process of applying several jars of Cantu butter
Our crowns deserve better
They deserve to be loved and nurtured whether they hide under a frontal or are being attacked by the wind
They deserve to be kept alone and not picked out by our clueless friends
Our Crowns deserve better
We deserve better not only for what’s on our heads, but the thoughts inside them
