Take Over
They saw,
They gawked,
They thought it was too much,
Unruly, unnatural, undesirable
My hair.
My personality.
My identity.
They didn't know that I,
With my unruly hair,
Would take over
The world.
Through music
Through art
Through Hollywood.
Those who cried,
Whos hearts
were turned to stone
At the sight of my raw self
Now say that I am brave,
That I am beautiful
That I am real
And that they have
Always loved me.
They like every post,
Those who used
To only leave
Pain.
They follow me on every platform,
Those who used to
Shun me from town.
They watch me every night,
Those who wouldnt
Even meet my
eyes.
I see the lies,
I see those who
At one point wanted
Nothing more
Than to see
Me fail
And I
Will ensure
That before I die
I will turn them all
To stone.
