Poetry Corner My Locks By Mount Zinai
M
y locks symbolise my identity,
They are an extension of me,
Just like the branches of a tree, My locks stand tall, as part of me, A source of strength, A source of pride and a story, simply look at their length, Many may scorn them, But I adore them, They symbolise resilience, And brilliance, When I enter a room, they announce my presence, A holy connection is embedded, within their essence, They connect me to my heritage and roots, They are unapologetic, they are my truth, Societies standards of beauty, Do not phase me, My head is held high, As the sun beams on my crown, from the beautiful sky.
