I Changed My Hair

I needed my peace
trying to kill tears that would not decease
why?
why do people strike me?
finding away to escape what I see…
I look to the ocean
I-I look deep of the outer banks of the sea
and I see me..
I changed my hair
along with my care
I stopped stumbling around the truth
remembering this fig tree-housed roots
of all I been through
nobody knows the truth
they just assume too
I changed my hair
along with my care
I-I changed my hair
I walk head high
I-I I am UPSIDE DOWN-WALKING ON THE SKY
keeps me from spilling my cry
I’m living-
giving
what I can of me
no matter what people see
I changed my hair
along with my care
I found a trajectory
that walked me free
so when they whisper and laugh at me
I cannot weep of clarity
of how people fear
the smiles in front of my tear
I changed my hair
along with care
gathered my essence
steadily counting my blessings
I changed my hair!
I changed my hair!
of freewill
don’t mind me, look if you will
know that I no longer care

changing something as simple as a hairdo, shows that we get to display reflections of freedom
