Creative Wednesday.


I'm going to change the title of wednesday blogs when I think of something catchy to call it.

But yup thats what today is!! yaaaa!!(lol) so today I decided to share a poem that I had written for the creative writing class I took last fall with Prof  MK Asante (jr) Its written in Kwansaba form. I hope you enjoy,it actually does mean alot to me.





Naps

Years of modification, chemicals and foreign objects.

I was ignorant to blessings, I suffered.

A crusade that left baldness, pain, disappointment.

For years I fought against my beauty.

God didn’t make mistakes in my creation.

I chopped away societal influences, my disobedience.

My wild natural swell stood proud today.
