Haircut

I got a haircut today…

Light as a feather I feelFree from it allBut stillGot the weight of the world on one shoulderCut away the locksHolding meParted the strifeAnd miseryYet deep down I know it ain’t overTrimmed strands of liesKept the truthShaved layers of deceitI had toNo rubberband could hold itWatched tendrils of pain DisappearClipped adverse soundsFrom my earNo styling gel could mold it

So I freed myselfFrom theDREADS of societyWRAPed inside mePONY TALES of traumaAnd PERManent dramaFree fromMaking SPLIT ENDS meetAnd the trouble WEAVE reapedThe sudden WAVES of crimeGovernment BALD faced liesFree fromSweating in cotton and CORNROWSAnd the AFRO American stereo-Types of being LOCKED awayAnd TWISTED ways of getting paidFree fromTimes when morals seem to FADEAnd free from todayWhen cars FLIP and people break down…I hate letting my hair down…

dayum…..I need another haircut….
