i Cut My Hair

I cut my hair because I use to hide behind it. I didn't wear the hair, the hair wore me. Somehow, I let my hair define me. I felt like I was nothing without it. It gave me a feeling of security. A safe kind of feel. Without hair laying on my shoulders I felt ugly and less than average. But I finally decided I ws going to break free. I wanted to know what it felt like to be free from the chains I called my hair. Cutting my hair was symbolic to cutting my fear. Ive become unique. Ive become spontaneous. Ive evolved into the girl ive always been inside. No longer does my mind recognize the word "safe" but my spirit lives for the word fearless. And its all because I cut my hair.
