Dear society, my hair does not define me.

So why do you even stare?

Giggles behind me, because of what I wear.

How do you think that is even fair?


Little comments, pesky like a fly

Wondering to myself as I look to the sky,

Why oh why do you label me?

And try to disable me?

Based solely on appearance

Because my shoes may have been on clearance


You can try to change me into something I’m not

But I love who I am

And that’s what I’ve got
