I woke up all forlorn and hollow inside of me oh yes, I was pretty darn melancholy all funky blue and my glass was totally empty and I just wanted to curl up into nothingness . . . oh, why does my hair have to be bone straight disgusted, my eyes stare back at me from the mirror blankly, saying maybe cut it (my hair that is) get some curls and volume but wait, I cannot do that my wave of long hair 'cause it is my spiritual strength, okay I want to kiss the person who invented hoodies, and this wooden excuse for a girl is planning on hiding in one with this river of hair and the hoodie I should be invisible to all and any conversation will be futile and a waste of your time oh, that's just GREAT dance class at 10- odd, I feel quite alive now . . . _________________________ February 26, 2018 Poetry/Free Verse/Hiding In My Hoodie Copyright Protected, ID 18-1098-195-01 All Rights Reserved.

Hon, I have actually purchased hair extensions and a wig because I have so many "bad hair days." The hoodie never occurred to me, but it's usually too warm for them in Florida. I love the way you gain some zest when you recall dance class. Worrying about hair is pointless. I keep mine long too so I can wear it different ways/ White Rain hairspray would go bankrupt without my purchase in vain attempts for curls.Congratulations on your placement in Brian's contest! Best wishes, Carolyn

This was really good, I loved the look into the mind of someone who is unsure of their looks but sure of their talent.
