Black and toiled

Thick and coiled

Defying gravity as I grow

Roots thick and as mysterious as the bottom of a New Orleans bayou

Through each branch i twist and contort around and within myself

As I grow, I grow profusely

I conquer and consume

Destructive to those tools that try to tame me

Wild and fierce resembling an untamed lion

Never oppress me again

Never press me again

You stunt my growth

Steal my luster

Strip me of my glory

Trying to attain what I can never be

Straight

Flat

Barren

Unable to ascend to the sun's warmth

I was not meant to be stringy nor to be singed or brittle

Though you are not your hair it is apart of you

Grow YOUR glory

Bask in its ambiance

Appreciate the days the combs teeth are no match for the diamond strength strands sprouting from your beautiful head

Love your you

Your NATURAL you
