Me llaman la grifa~
niña linda,
pelo malo~
because
it wouldn’t obey
untamable beast
told to relax
as the lie (lye) concoction
burned the kink out of my hair
erasing temporarily the part
of me that I hated the most.
Genetically made up to be wild
not to be tamed
or managed
or straightened
or subdued
or laid flatly with
no body or bounce
No…that
could never be me.
For …
I am too relentless
to conform
to transform
to be altered
into something
that I wasn’t really destined
to be.
