What is Hair?


Thick, short & full of life She’s mostly everywhere but sometimes invisible to the bare eyes Free in the wind But trapped under her skin Light but packed with DNA The melanin, without it, it would be in a race without color No shade just base Running around through three phases She don’t plan on stopping till the follicles extend For she has to grow and be mature With cuticles strong, tough and ready for war!
