NATURAL CREATIONS

Several inches of new growth made it difficult
for my comb flow through my tresses,
and at 9:30pm a hairdresser
I knew I couldn’t find;
so I ran to the local Wal*mart
for a Dark and Lovely perm kit,
cause I tell ya
I was going out of my mind.
As I return to my home
and sat in front of the mirror,
A tired soul is what I did see;
for I was wearing myself senseless
with all these perms,
when I should have been living naturally.
And as I reach for the container
to start my self punishment,
for this is what I was taught
I needed to do;
A little voice in my heart shouted at me,
your beauty is in the NATURAL YOU!
And just like that
I retracted my hand from the box,
looked in the mirror
without a word to say;
for instantly in my heart
I knew that tomorrow would
be a brighter and betta day.
So 9:30am I awoke motivated,
I was in search for the queen in me;
so off I went to the local barbershop,
for I was now determined
to live NATURALLY.
Barber # 1 took one look at my hair,
and with a blink of an eye
he claimed he wouldn’t dare.
'Why cut off your hair,
that I can’t do,
just get a touch up and
girl you’ll be cool’.
“Be cool…be cool” I stated
“to who me or you”?
Yeah I suppose gold teeth and
a blonde weave would appeal to him too.
No thank-you was my reply,
for I could see we would going nowhere;
and off I was in search of someone,
to rid me of this so called ‘Hair’.
Now Barber # 2, was more of a practical man;
for once I made my request,
my wish was his command.
And as he began to cut,
my heart started to beat fast
for all I could think of,
were the hairstyles of my past.
But that’s just what they were
apart of my past,
now it’s time for something new;
and as each clump of hair
fell to the ground,
I knew just what I needed to do.
So in my mind I recited a short prayer
I thank God for this wonderful sensation;
For he save from the hands of ‘Dark&Lovely’
Made me apart of his NATURAL CREATION.
