Good Hair

You've been good hair.
You grew with me throughout tough transitions
From breakups to scholarly ambitions
From mental hospital to job interviews

You've been good hair
I decided to loc you up
Because I wanted to embrace you
But you've been the one to embrace me

You've been good hair
I cried on you
Slept on you
Felt you on my cheek while I laughed

You've been good hair
You've swung when I exercised
Or when I turned my head too quickly
You've bounced with me while I made love to my man
(Feeling every vibration)

You've been good hair
I've watched you mature
I've watched you break
You were my scarf on cold winter days.

You've been good hair
But wondering how long would our journey continue?
I think I want a brand new transition.
But I'm too attached to let you go now.

You are good hair.
