I Am Not My Hair

CATEGORY

I know you don't care
But I can tell when you stare 
I say to you I am not my hair
To say that you're not judgemental
But judging my physical instrumentals
Yes I am very proud of my nappy roots
Because I don't show them when you want me to dispute
Who I am 
How I feel about me
The essence within thee
My heritage
How I feel about my skin
My deep rooted melanin
Never taking the time to dig beneath
Your on top 
I'm under the sheets
Because I buy this hair
That I love to wear
That means I am ashamed of me
Wrong person 
That's your stupidity
Love me inside out 
Not outside then in 
My energy 
My abnormality
Eyes watching 
Eyes judging me 
Flee
I overstand what you say
I agree to disagree
I am black 
I am blue
I am brown
I am red 
I frown 
Upon ignorance
I take a stance
You need to close your eyes perchance
That's you 
I'm wide awoke
Aware of me
My personality, my ethnicity angering your stupidity
Judging me not loving me 
Thinking your so above me 
I am not my hair
That does not define me
Look inside of me
