I will colour my hair like blazing lightning
Blinding my skin
Blue like the ocean yearning for the sky
Like pain wrapped in hollow spring
Like estrangement finding it’s lonely lover

I will colour my hair like it scares you
Like how you don’t want me to
Red like every strand speaking of the blood that I have dropped for you
Like black charcoal you painted my body with
Green like your eyes when it sees me flying with woven wings

Each one of my hair will ink the skies with your guilt
It will make your skins crawl, your eyes blink in shame
My hair will fall like thorns in your tongue
Every word will choke you

I will colour my hair like all the times you didn’t want me to
Like how it will shake your ground
You will anchor for support

Watch me as I break down the throne of lies
that you sit in
And watch me do it with style
Your deception and your pride will shrivel under my hair
Your malicious gaze will scream in agony
You will shiver at what I have become
And you will perish

But my hair will grow and spread like a wildfire
Like the rainbow has found shelter in it
You will never know when
a hurricane will shatter the world of hatred that you have created
Watch us burst into an euphoria of every colour that you strip us of
Watch us write the future
After all, what is it like to be on the wrong side of history?
