Swell Time
Moving forward, just not sure where we're going, but at least we're having a swell time when we do it.
It changed everything
When my hair was red and I spoke,
People listened.
But the words they heard
Were tainted, because my words did not fit.
They did not fit how I looked.
They did not fit what people expected from me.
Change my hair,
Cut it short
Let it go gray,
Now I can say the same words.
And this time they are okay.
This time I am allowed to say them.
This time my words fit people’s expectations.
My heart,
My mind,
And my soul
Remained constant.
But change my hair, and somehow
That changed everything.
