i try not to obsess over vanity but
i can't help feeling undesirable
unfeminine, unbeautiful, improper
because i don't have flowing locks
hugging my shoulders or
curls flowing down my spine

it's funny, isn't it?
that i should feel so
unsubstantial
because of the length of my hair but
i wonder:

if i could use this to my advantage and
lose the makeup
tape down the breasts
and fit in with every
insensitive male idiot

you know, the ones that
make me feel like those girls
with the long hair are
so superior

Author's Note: this is supposed to be playful, not angry. i hope that came across.
