Look Up

Look up
Look up
its hard for a girl to raise her head
because she doesn't know how to walk with pride
she is afraid when she looks up
her father's fist will knock her right back down

Girls are scared to Look up these days
because their futures don't look bright.
They have to deal with
people at home who don't love them
people at school who don't understand them
people who just wanna bullying them.

Look up sweetie
Look up
its not easy to tell a girl it will get better
because you don't know that
no one knows her struggles
no one can protect her from her family

But can anyone be there to shine some light in her life?

Why do you perm your hair?

There is no place for a natural girl in a perm world

I remember my ex boyfriend asking me

Why do you perm your hair?

Idk, its just something black people do.

Its cold
Its white
It burns but
when its rinsed
I look a new born Puerto Rician Girl
You see thats what my type of women strive for
the feeling of knowing that the teeth on my comb will not break as I part it
The natural girl don't have to worry about their hair breaking off
because they colored it
I do
talk about making sure I have the best shampoo and conditioner
I make sure my hair is well greased
or my split ends will become apart of my outfit
all this work for Beauty??
All this work so that my hair will be easier to maintain
seem like I have to go through a longer process when my hair is permed
So now I ask myself

Why Do I perm my Hair?

She will love me

I need her because she will love me
I need her because she will never leave me
see you don't understand how hard it is to find love
love that will stick around
even though you may be using me
I am using you too
because she is all I want
all I desire
I can show her what to do in life
Me being young doesn't mean anything
I have all this love inside of me
I been waiting for 16 years to share it with someone
so why not her
she will love me
you wait and see
she will complete me
call me whatever you want
but she is who I desire
in 9 months I will have her.
Finally someone to love me....
