Natural woman
growing hair naturally
white cream free
freedom from chemical chains
styling sometimes hard
but full of dignity
dreadlocks the style I choose
maintaining them
on my own has proven to be
quite the challenge
yet easy
Frustration did arise
almost grabbed the scissors
to cut them down
to size
someone stopped me with a
word of praise
Suggested I give them names
alas dreadlocks saved!
Naia drapes the nape of my
neck flowing
Tempest and Temple
hang near my ears
Caprice & Carrie
sometimes
do their own free spirit
thing on the crown of my head
so I've given identity
to five
signifying grace
My hair is my glory
putting a smile on my face
while telling another version
of my story.
