My hair is kind of like a garden.

It requires a lot of maintenance

A lot of time

A lot of love.

It seems like a hassle,

But now I love the garden on my head

Big and thick,

Growing every direction.

I remember the days I hated it

I tried my best to beat my garden,

Make my garden look like a flat patch of grass.

But my garden isn’t a flat patch of grass

It has roses, daisies, sunflowers,

My garden has everything.

People made fun of my garden.

They said it was too big

They called it names

It took me a long time to love my garden

Now I love my garden.

I take care of it

I admire it

I love it.
