Cut Up Hair
Sitting around
a new day in town.
Start a new year
all my friends are here.
The look at me
and all they see
is my cut up hair.
"It was my choice!"
I strain my voice
with how many times I tell them.
"Lesbian!"
"Gay!"
"She's some type of way,"
with those new fangled locks of hers.
So I sat back to see
how they bullied me
for something I can replace.
No doubt in my mind
nor bat of an eye
I got the hell out of that place.
Long locks of lust
a booming new bust
hormones hit my face.
Now I can realize
how daft everyone is
when one thing's considered a discrace.
