Crowning Glory

Feeling bad

she hates her hair.

Doesn't suit me,

sticks out,

looks stupid-

the old familiar refrain.

There's something else

at the root of this trouble,

something more

which curls

at the strands of her despair.

This dandruffy lack

of self-esteem

will never be

her crowning glory.
