Black and Bald

I am black and I am bald

Revealing to you a secret confidence

I have yet to tell myself

Where follicles fell at twenty plus years

And issues were raised regarding

How pretty I was still

See my hair was thick and plentiful at one time

Yet genetic anomalies caused this crime

Where past lives and lost tribes

Cursed generations to come

With true lies and random alibis

Yet confessions from none

I am Black and I am bald

Follicly challenged to say the least

But let me just say that I am in no way

Embarrassed by who I am on this day

Beautifully made by God

With melanin and strength

Supple skin, luscious lips,

Round bottom and thick hips

Working my style like back in the day

A 70’s woman, hey I was born to be this way

It’s a physical state of being

A simple matter of fact

Cause if push comes to shove

I can buy me a rug

To simulate I’ve grown my hair back

But Black I will stay as I was born to die

Beauty fades with age and ugly doesn’t lie

It
