BALLAD Poem: Let Your Hair Down, by Azure

You tie up your hair with a smile on your face
You keep your hair tied, just to keep them in place
When you feel the wind against your skin
The delight on your face; a glimpse of who you are
Sometimes all you wish for is the wind
That caresses your texture and every of your scars
I see the worn out pieces of you from afar
But you always keep your head up, stick to the ground
You say it’s no big deal when it is, but you never
Reconsider you thoughts, let your hair down

Little strands of hair are always on your face
You don’t wear fancy things to keep them in place
Well, you have my gratitude for the day i couldn’t take off my eyes
When the wind hit and your hair wound
Then show that part of yourself, to see which every part of me dies
Spread yourself open, let your hair down

You’re still so sincere, yet so out of reach
Yet every time your imprints on me are like tides on a beach
But there’s still more to you than I’ve already found
For you really don’t feel the wind, let your hair down

You’re a hypocrite justice-seeker, hardly ever complain about getting your fair share
And even if the wind hits you, rather than a hand brushing over you hair, it’s just the air
I’ve been wanting you to really feel the air for many days, I’ve lost count
Because you don’t actually feel the wind, unless you let your hair down
