Lord R. E. Taylor Poet Free verse

Wild Hair

Wild Hair

Will you please
Stop complaining
I like it just the way it is
I don’t want to change it
Too bad that it is not to your standards
I like my hair long
I like it uncombed and wild
It does what it wants
When it wants
No brush or comb can tame it
You are not going to change that
No matter how hard you try
Let my hair grow like an ivy
Wild and free
Reaching for something to grab onto
It has wanted that since the day I was born
It will be like that the day I die
That is how I want it
That is how it will be
No matter what

I have always been lazy with my hair, I do like the wild side of it flipped to the side. I also like your are what you are and now one is going to change you. Blessings and 7
