I used to dread the dreadlock until I let my locks, my hair grow out on its own. So that I can let you know that I too am love. Be gentle with yourself. There is courage and freedom and inner peace to be gained from this.
Dreadlocking
Forests of dark coily hair jerseyed
Into the fabric of my immigrant life
Understanding what is my ground
Something that’s not yours to name.

It is foolish to give ones power to people, unworthy causes and things. So yes, I mean it. Thank you for being there RJ. Have a lovely afternoon. 🙂
