compare and despair
this is something we should spare
we allow it to ensnare
our feelings about our hair
and it influences what we wear
this is a habit of most women
although probably not the hare
nor the free spirited mare
it impacts girls more than boys
this isn’t fair
clearly we just shouldn’t care
as much as we do when people stare
it shouldn’t our sense of self impair
nor affect our our wellbeing-and general welfare
but it’s something in our software
that can’t seem to make its way up for air
I’ve seen it all over the world
it’s everywhere
from california to delaware
from tijuana to tiananmen square
it even shows up in a house of prayer
I’ve been there
it does not spare the legionnaire
and certainly not the billionaire
it raises the cost of our health care
all the while we maneuver unaware
we must beware
and protect our spirits from being trapped in the snare
we must choose our happiness and take the dare
to no longer care
when others impose their life doctrinaire
that they extricate from thin air
time to internally and externally declare
that perhaps an attitude of laissez faire
is the way to a life extraordinaire
remember that you are unique and quite rare!
no need to remain in a constant state of repair
we want to move forward not in arriere!
Let your SELF shine with your own sense of FLARE!
