My Hair

My hair

Big and fluffy

Curly and knotty

Ugly and tawdry

It's filled with chaos

It's wild and stormy

My mom tells me it's stunning

Though I don't believe her

People are staring

Life is just so unfair

 

Her hair

Sleek and flawless 

Straight and knotless 

Beautiful and bounce less 

It's peaceful and tranquil

It's a perfect fit

People tell her it's stunning 

She lets it get to her

Why can't I have hair that looks just like her


The author's comments:

Her hair gets all sorts of attention. The good kind, unlike mine. She's my sister and I can't let her know it affects me. That I'm all kinds of jealous. But sometimes when we argue, that's the first thing she goes after. I don't want her to know the truth, so I write it out. I wrote this when my mom refused to let me chop off my hair. I just hope I can find comfort in my hair. Like I always say, every rose has thorns.
