Kinky Hair

Why you wanna go there and stare
At the uniqueness of me
Can’t you see
I Love the way
My ‘Fro Froes
And the way my Kinky hair grows
Just because my hair is not
Fried
Dyed
Or laid to the side
Does that make me
More or less
Beautiful than you
India Arie sang it well,
“I Am Not My Hair”
So why care
Don’t hate
But appreciate
The beauty of my kinky self
For years society has placed
Misconceptions on the word “beautiful”
A size 4, blond-haired, blue-eyed vixen
Folks how can we miss this
Radio, TV, and magazines
Have placed these queens supreme
But why not celebrate
The kinky-haired thick beings
Why not de-hype
The stereotype
And formulate a plan
To withstand
The Negativity
Criticism
And hate
Thrown callously in our way
There’s room for all of us to grow
So you must know
That beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, colors and hair
So don’t be scared
And buy into the hype
But open up your mind
And just know
In time
My kinky hair, thick self will shine
