So you think I'm tryin' to conform? When for all I've ever known is this to be the norm
You say I'm trying to be something that I'm not, when my hair will never make who I an whether it's straight, kinky, or bought,
you cut your eyes at me ova my hairdo when you were once in the very same shoes.
So I apply this creamy stuff to make my hair straight, but you act as if your kinks gave you a pass through Heaven's gate.Why do you put me under this kind of pressure? and act as though because you have naps you are now up to the measure?
You say you are so enlightened, but it seems to me as though you just might be somewhat frightened. Are you scared you will face the temptation to straighten out the kinks again? Do you project that fear unto me distorted and full of disdain? I wish I could show you that just because my hair is straight doesn't mean I can't relate to your pain.]
You say my ignorance runs deep, as though just cause my hair is straight I have no sense, my sistah
Have you forgotten when you were on this side of the fence? You look your nose down on me now that you have naps growing freely from your head, when really you should be concerned about the kinks in your heart instead.
To my relaxed sistah's (from your natural sistah)
So you day you can relate to my pain? No I don't think you can, not till you have worn an all natural mane.
You see, there is no pain like this, when you bery own people ignorantly diss what our hair really is.
Yes I feel enlightenad and free to be me, and yes, maybe I am a little frightened of what my nappy experience will be. You see, I feel pressure every single day, to once again make my hair lay down, I just don't want to give in and loce this freedom that I hae found. No my naps won;t give me a ticket through Heaven's gate, but I have a lot of love new love for what God made me instead of living with self hate. I no longer damage and abuse the hair God gave me just to fit in, I'm no longer in bondgae to white people's greatest sin. The promotion of self hate within us to oppress and degrade us, as though we are not acceptable the way the creator made us. I may come off as though I think I'm better than you, but my sistah thas is so not true, it's about so much more than just your hairdo. Maybe I don't say it right, but really we are all in the same fight and all I want to do is to share my insight. Your acting as though your so righteous because you feel slighted, maybe you as well are somewhat frightened. see next page for rest.......
