The Burden of Gorgeous Hair

I can never live up to it.

Anything I say, or do,
is a disappointment

once you’ve laid eyes
on these lustrous locks.

I’m tangled in it, trapped.

If I keep it, there’s no escape.

If I cut it, I lose my identity.

Oh, damn these clustering curls!

(she said, tossing her head
attractively, as is possible only
when cursed with gorgeous hair)
