I let my hair down
                          (a sigh of relief)

Coarse, Thick, Kinky, Unruly, Frizzy, and Tangled 

I untied my big lock of hair from its elastic band, that held it hostage; and poof.....it's loose and free into existences. And what went with it were all my cares, fears, uncertainties, insecurities, sadness, and inhibitions; leaving it up in one big ponytail, that once had held me captive for so long. This once entangled mind was able to come to grips with what was placed in front of her, which was weighing her head down so heavily. Still coarse, thick, unruly, and unmanageable, I comb through all the wavy, curly, thickness that were knots in my life. Then all of a sudden, pieces of me dropped to the floor; in strands brittle and dry. Breakage was to split me in half at the core of the root, causing me to end. But I wouldn't allow it. I swept it up for no one to see. But eventually came to terms with my fate and made amends with myself; to be carefree with my mind (my hair). As my hair falls free from bondage, so does my fears and everything else that goes with it.
