The Girl with the Boy Hair
The Girl with the Boy Hair
by Charlize Celebre
There is this girl who hates herself
It’s mostly because of her gender
Her hair is like rapunzels
But her face isn’t really pure beauty
She wants to be like Michael Jackson
Dancing in the red jacket singing out loud
But she won’t go far with that little attitude of hers
One day she had enough
She shaved her head
Then soon her eyebrows
At first I didn’t recognize her
But when that toothy grin brightened her face
I knew that was my unique neighbor
She never regretted doing that to herself
We don’t hang out anymore
But thats ok . . .
I don’t hang out with boys anyway!
