No One Strand The Same
Blond, brown, black, no one strand the same
As the light shines, face and body shift
Differences shown by flame
Each different look a gift.
In daylight, your reflection is never the same
Always looking different from them
In the daylight, looks define your name
Where jealousy or ego may stem
Shadows dance on the edge
Friends of the dark, slowly coming in
Visibility sitting on the edge
But what then?
As darkness sets,
That reflection fades,
Jealousy and ego resets
Seeing all in the same shades
Blond, brown, black, all strands the same
As the darkness sets, face and body remain
Differences hidden, known only by name
Each different look, no longer vain.
