Blending in

Sometimes I feel that you expect too much of me. I can't be all things! Kinky Curly, wavy, STRAIGHT? Who are you? You want to be THAT girl now? With the hair the blows in the wind, and does not shrink up her back to her ears? Cause that is what I do. I shrink. And I will do it again as soon as you release me from this heat imposed state of pressed unkinkyness. Or as soon as Poseidon lends me a few of his minions to assist in my reversion. For now I will try do be this, this, FLAT thing that you seem to strive for, because I am strong and capable. I can be this chick too, temporarily.

coconut

I like coconut!!!  Why don't you use more coconut?  You don't like coconut?  Clearly I do...
Why don't you give it to me? 

You're mean.

But your skin is clearing up.  Good for you!

I don't care about your face

I shall fall in your eyes,
mock the shape of your head,
blow in your lip gloss,
add a lovely sheen to your forehead.

I will swell in all the wrong places to accentuate your wide nose,
or your small eyes. 
I might even drop a sole soldier on your check or eyelid, and there it shall remain, looking like an insect until you see it hours later.

And when you least expect it, I will lie inexplicably flat. That should alter the entire look you were going for with that face paint you just put on.

Today, however, I am just a part of you.
I belong here.
I make your eyes sparkle like the sheen I emit.
I make your cheekbones pop and make your generous lips perch righteously under your nose.
Today...

Ignoring me?

So you think you can just roll out of bed without saying a word to me??  You know I didn't mean it, the other day.  I just CAN'T stay like that.  hey! 
HEY!
You didn't even look in the mirror!!

What if I were thirsty? or hungry?  What if I have decided to begin the locking process as you slept?
You know, I have thought about it on numerous occasions...
Maybe today is the day.

HELLO???

You aren't even listening.

Everyone can see me.  I AM right above your FACE after all.
But you don't care.
Is it something specific I've done?  I know I have a "strong personality" at times, but I know I make you laugh and smile sometimes too.  The way I accent your cheek bones, or your eyes?  not today huh?  You don't need me?

Well, I guess I will chill out for now.  you can't be mad at me forever.  Is that it for real?  You're mad at me?
sigh.......

I Had a Party

...while you were sleeping last night.  You were not invited because you're such a drag.

We all played a very lively game of product rejection and as of this morning I am comfy and coiled, though a bit sleepy.  I hope you don't mind.

I saw your face in the mirror and you looked a bit surprised, though you stayed calm.  I'm not sure what that means, but you really don't have time to argue with me now, do you?  Off to work you go!!

Let's chat again around 7p when you get home, K?

I bust the windows out your car

well... At least I tried to.

Explosion!!! Don't call it a come back! I been here for years!!  POW!  
^
As your solitary headtie burst and flew off your head at 100 mph!   Your reaction was priceless.  As if somebody hit you in the head!  Like boop! < LOL (at you)

Then I was FREE.  And I slowly slid down and out to claim allll the free space that is rightfully mine. 

It took you a full hour to get another elastic. hahahahaaa.

Your man has issues! You should leave him.

Now I don't want to go alerting the authorities just yet.... But your man has issues!!!

How are you gonna just let him man handle me like that??? I don't know what the hell YOU are into but please leave me out of it.

I mean, you didn't even tie me up last night, ever.  Now I'm all dry and crunchy.  I hope you know that I have no intention whatsoever of doing a damn thing you ask of me today.  Nope.  I've been abused and I am feeling some kind of way about it.

sigh.

You are not going to like this but...... I think you should leave him.

No, seriously.  What is he doing for US?  We don't spend hardly as much time together as we used to. And I may be going out a a limb here, but that press... Was that your idea?  or HIS?  Because you know how much WE hate being pressed and I don't understand why it was so important that you press me in warm weather.  <_< (That is a major side eye to you AND your so called "man")

I've also noticed that his pillows are not made of silk, not even satin.  Yet you do not wear a scarf?  WHY???  Again... I don't know what YOU are into but it really has nothing to do with me, so I don't see why I should suffer.  He's changed you, I'm afraid.  For the worse.

I tell you this because our relationship is very important to me, and I don't want to leave you. In clumps in your brush, and shreded pieces on these COTTON pillowcases I see far too often now a days.... I will leave you if this continues. You need to leave him first.

Make a choice.  I ♥ you more!
