Hello everyone! Here's a poem I wrote about my hair. I had just cut off my chemically straightened hair, fall of 2017, and was just discovering the nature and texture of my coily hair for the first time. My hair had been chemically straightened, prior to this, when I was too young to remember what it was originally. So, this was all a very new journey for me, with a lot of mixed emotions.

Poetry was in everything for me, it flowed so easily to me back then. I'd venture to say it kept me company. I hope you enjoy this original. It was fun and playful writing this.
