Dred-locs

here self ain’t easy
wing torn hope worn
wind goes into jars
step with care Muse

Girl born with fire
burn lies with eyes
Mama can’t tame this
tank full soul deep 

soak time into hair
make love stay here
push fear away hard
keep calm like soil

grow locs wild free
kink full rope firm
lock this mind down
don’t comb with heat
