I AM MY HAIR

BEAUTY CRIES FOR ME

I FOUND MYSELF CRYING BECAUSE I BARELY KNEW ME, DIDN'T SEE WHAT I WAS FEELING THAT I CALLED BEAUTY.

MY HEART DIDN'T MATCH MY HEAD CAUSE IT WAS MY WAY OF THINKING, MY SELF ESTEEM DIDN'T MATCH MY BODY THEREFORE I WAS SINKING.

WISHING I STILL HAD THAT SPARK THAT SAID I HAD IT ALL, BUT EXCEPTING ME WITH BEAUTIFUL FLAWS.

LIKE MY CURVES MEAN MORE OF ME TO LOVE, THE THICKNESS OF MY BRAIN WHEN MY HEART IS UNPLUGGED.

MY STRETCH MARKS REMIND ME OF WHAT 1 CHILD CAN DO, AND A MOTHER OF 7 AIN'T ALL I GO THROUGH.

I AM BEAUTIFUL NO MATTER WHAT I SEE, EVEN WHEN UNBEAUTIFIED MY BEAUTY CRIES FOR ME.

IF HEAVEN HAD VISITING HOURS

IF HEAVEN HAD VISITING HOURS I WOULD VISIT EVERYDAY. I MISS MY AUNTIE DEARLY I JUST WANNA SEE HER FACE.

MAYBE JUST LISTEN TO HER VOICE FOR THE LAST GO ROUND. IT'S HARD TO STAND STRONG IF IT'S NOT SOLID GROUND.

BUT SHE'D KNOW WHAT TO SAY JUST TO KEEP MY MIND AT PEACE. BUT MY HEART AND MIND AREN'T FUNCTIONING EVERYDAY I'M LOSING SLEEP.

I MISS YOUR SMILE I MISS LAUGHTER BUT MOST OF ALL I MISS YOUR LOVE. WISHING I COULD REWIND YOUR LIFE FOR SWEET KISSES AND A HUG.

SO MANY THINGS LEFT UNSAID CAUSE HER DEATH WAS ON SHORT NOTICE. BUT THE LIVING NEVER GRIEVES CAUSE THE DEAD IS NOT THEIR  FOCUS.

I WAS PRAYING THIS BECOME A HOLIDAY FOR EVERYONE TO SEE. WE ALL HAVE A NUMBER BUT DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE.

SO ENJOY THE SMALLS THINGS THAT WE LOOK OVER EVERYDAY. REMEMBER TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE SO LISTEN AS I SAY.

NEVER STOP THE CALLS OR TEXT NO MATTER IF YOUR MAD. CAUSE CERTAIN SITUATIONS CAUSE DEFINITELY BE THE LAST.

I AM MY HAIR

I AM MY HAIR ONLY MY KIND CAN RELATE.

I'M TALKED ABOUT WHEN IT'S NAPPY AND HATED ON WHEN IT'S STRAIGHT.

I AM MY HAIR SINCE IT'S SO MUCH TO DISCUSS.

ALWAYS THE TOPIC FOR OTHER'S SO I JUST BRUSH.

OFF THE HATERS CAUSE MY HAIR DEFINES WHO I AM.

DIFFERENT TEXTURES AND ALL BUT STILL PROUD OF IT, DAMN.

SO BLACK WOMEN YOUNG OR OLD BE WHO YOU WANNA BE.

YOUR HAIR IS YOUR HERITAGE SO LIVE LIKE YOU PLEASE.

WITH LONG OR SHORT NATURAL OR EXTENTIONS.

NEVER LET THEM TAKE AWAY WHAT THEY COULDN'T INVISION.

I SAY MAKE-UP CAN NEVER OVER SHADOW WHAT'S NATURALLY MADE UP, LIKE PRETTY FACES AND SHAPES DON'T DEFINE IF YOUR REAL.

REMEMBER YOU HAVE ONE LIFE MY QUEEN SO EXPRESS HOW U FEEL.

STARTING WITH YOUR HAIR!!

UTILIZE YOUR VOICE

THEY SAY BLACK LIVES MATTER BUT TELL ME HOW THAT IS.

WHEN OUR WOMEN AND GIRLS ARE BEAT AND RAPED AND DESTROYED LIKE TRASH.

WHEN YOUR LOOKS HAVE A HIDDEN PRICE TAG BUT YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR BEING SOLD.

THIS IS FOR ALL THE WOMEN AND GIRLS AROUND THE WORLD YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CONTROL.

AND ESPECIALLY OUR COLORED GIRLS DON'T EXPOSE WHAT YOU DON'T WANT OTHER'S TO HAVE ACCESS TO.

LEARN AND UNDERSTAND THE WALKS OF LIFE BY STARTING TO CHOOSE YOU.

BECAUSE IT'S TO MANY BROKEN HOMES AND TO MANY MOTHER'S CRYING.

TO MANY FATHERLESS KID'S TRYING TO SURVIVE IT.

THE PAIN FROM THEIR PARENT'S PAST OR PROBLEMS THAT MADE THEM GROWN BEFORE THERE TIME.

THE DISGUSTING LOOK OF UNFAMILIAR FACES AS THEY WAIT IN LINE.

TO TAKE TURNS ON OUR INNOCENCE LOVE ONES LIKE THEY HAVE NO PRICE TO PAY.

RUNNING SEX TRAFFICKING RINGS TO PROFIT OFF THE INNOCENT EVERYDAY.

REMEMBER WHO DIED FOR THE CAUSE FOR US TO B...

I'M SOMEBODY

I WAS A NOBODY UNTIL SOMEBODY TOLD ME THAT ANYBODY CAN INSPIRE EVERYBODY.

SEE SOMEBODY OR ANYBODY TELL EVERYBODY THAT I WILL NEVER BE A NOBODY.

ANYBODY CAN MAKE EVERYBODY UNDERSTAND THAT SOMEBODY CAN BE A NOBODY IF YOUR NOT HEARD.

SO I ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO STAND UP FOR THE NOBODY'S AND MAKE SOMEBODY SEE THAT ANYBODY CAN BE ANYTHING THEY DREAM OF.

ARE YOU SOMEBODY?

BECAUSE I'M SOMEBODY.

TOGETHER WE'RE SOMEBODY.

BECAUSE ALL LIVES MATTER!!
