Listen Later

Hello friends,

Starting this month with a poem introducing the theme of the month, natural hair!
hope you enjoy it xx
Poem: In my hometown,
The leaves on the trees are all 4c
No need to tame them
They all are free
So who can I blame then
For seeing the beauty in them and not in me?
On my TV,
It’s all different types of curls I see
Big curls, big hair, big energy
I can’t find myself in that category
And as I twist my hair at night
I wonder what I didn’t do right?
In my mirror
The curls and coils are all around me
And I love them I think?
Just don’t want the world to see
Just not at the length they are right now
Tomorrow maybe?
But in my eyes,
When I see the girls wearing their 4c
I’m in awe of the freedom they have and not me
And the more I see the beauty outside
The more it heals my inner child
And one day I woke up and realised
There’s nothing with my little 4c
