Hair

What is it with people and curly hair?
Yes I have curls
Yes I know they are wild
Yes I know it looks interesting
But that doesn't mean that you can touch them

I am not a circus attraction or an animal at a petting zoo

No you cannot touch my hair
No you cannot touch my hair
No Don't touch my hair!!!

Since when does having curly hair give anyone the right
to just ignore my personal space
and just touch my hair like if it's some sort of oddity
one that should be checked out under a microscope

Take a step back
There are personal boundaries and I don't appreciate you crossing them

How would you like it if I just get all up in your head
Acting as if it were something from Ripley's Believe It Or Not

Sorry, but to your dismay
my differences
Do not make me part of a side show
If it fascinates you so much, buy a wig
They come in all colors for you to 'ooh & ah' over

I own a mirror and know what I look like
I own a mirror and know what I have
And I'm more than ok with it
It took me a long time to embrace it all
Stop trying to make me feel ilke it was a mistake

If I want to walk around all wild & free
Well, that's just me!!!
