Rebel hair - video https://youtu.be/7iO2NBFRHKU

 
I always had long hair,
strong hair,
gold hair,
wavy hair,
just the way they like it,
natural, not crazy hair. 
Keep it long,
sex it up,
tousled, curled,
sprayed but soft.
If you cut it
you’ll regret it,
just like Brexit,
they’ll all exit.
You’ll think you’ll look fantastic
and you’ll feel more charismatic,
but you’ll not be so attractive,
if you crop it 
you’ll look masculine -
less feminine,
might look like a lesbian
you’ll lose your definition.
and let’s face it, it’s off putting.
 
If you analyse statistics
48 percent of men
prefer long, wavy antics.
Your sexiness mathematics,
measured scientific
not just judgemental pragmatics.
So keep those glossy tresses dressed
and if you haven’t been so blessed,
you may have to stick them on
so you can be a real woman.
You’ve got no tits
you need the hair -
but one small fact
I’d like to share...
 
I don’t Care.
It’s just hair!
 
Who are these 48 percent of men?
and why are we really bothering
to measure our sense of self esteem
by what we think they’re thinking.
It’s not my hair 
that makes me me,
not my tits, my clothes,
it’s what’s within -
my intelligence
dressed to give me pride.
 
The woman I would like to be -
is beautiful inside.

That is brilliant! (and it looks lovely) 

ps: The youtube video being in the pets and animals category adds an extra layer of (possibly uninentional) humour

I know right. For some reason my phone always uploads to that Category. I’m ok with it. I’ve always felt like I was really a cat anyway.

The beat of your heart is the mellifluent rhythm to my soul.

I like the way you write your feelings in this poem, they're direct and straight to the point. A neat video too.

"It’s not my hair 
that makes me me"
Well said Ae. It is your personality that distinguishes you from those who are more concerned with looks than intellect. As far as I am concerned, I find your new hairstyle very fetching.
Besides, 48% who disagree with your views do not represents a majority.

Best, Luigi.

P.S. Just a very minor typo: the first word of the second line is missing a 't'

Cheers Luigi - I hadn’t spotted that but I do find it ever so hard to see the screen well. I can never seem to find my reading glasses when I want them.

The beat of your heart is the mellifluent rhythm to my soul.

I love it...and you're right, it is only hair and hair is a dead thing on your head. Btw I hope you don't mind me saying but you have a touch of Julie Andrews in your appearance there, 'The hills are alive....'

I’m so glad you enjoyed the poem. I like Julie Andrews - strong female lead who knew how to get things done.

The beat of your heart is the mellifluent rhythm to my soul.
