It's a process...Unlock to lock From societal norms that bind My thoughts, my actions, my mind From expectations of whom I should be Unofficial authors of my reality I Must be UNLOCKED! From false images projections beauty Apart from me That stifles and chains my innate creativity From rules that say my hair must be straight Or in a mainstream's line I will wait I Must be UNLOCKED! To seek truth and my life's meaning Paying homage to REAL SELF and TRUE BEING Finding connectedness to the mother Gifts assigned to me as to no other I SHALL BE UNLOCKED! To take control of my life and my hair And play rules my spirit calls fair To let go days of perms, curls and press To experience freedom in speech, styles and dress I AM MOST TRULY LOCKED!
