I have always known that
I am a girl with curly hair
I do not know if
I will be the girl with curly hair
who cures cancer
or becomes the first
female president
but I do know that I will not be
the next curly haired Ms.America
or the valedictorian of my class
I know that I am not
jaw-droppingly
stunningly
gorgeous
or Einstein level smart
but I am special, or I was
until a boy said he loved me
and I was over the moon
because I was
the curly haired girl he loved
then said boy broke me
and I know that I am not dumb
so why
do I seek your love,
I long so desperately for
I have always known
that I am a girl with curly hair
yet come to find out
I did not know
I am JUST a girl with curly hair
