Hair split into two
Surrounded by sparkly hair ties
Perfectly fluffed
Covering my ears -
Shielding me from the world
Keeping the noise as silent as a mouse
Exposing my scalp -
Shielding me from the warm winters
While I hibernate like a cub
As pure as the snow
Not yet melted
Until those afro pigtails
Curl as straight as a line
Colored as black as the darkness
Drape my back like a curtain
