Red Crayon


I’m ginger

I’m not afraid to say it

My hair is what makes me, me

Everyday all day

I wake up

And I’m ginger

I go to sleep

And I’m ginger

I will not dye my hair for you

I will not add highlights for you

I like my hair

I like the color

It is red

Like the color of love

Of war

Of beauty

My hair is red

And I am ginger

And I am flawless

Because I love my hair

I like being carrot top

I like being able to use the red crayon when I color myself in a picture

I like being a ginger

I like waking up

And loving my hair

Because it’s me

And I am a proud

Awesome

Amazing

Spazzy

Geeky

Weird

Loud

Flawless

Ginger
