Font Color=darkvioleti Shaved My Head (School Assignment 8th) Poem by Jane Meyer

I shaved my head to release my imagination.
I did it to get a tattoo on my shiny head.
I did it to lose my normality.
I did it to become a freak.
I did it to make her angry.
I did it to show what a real “problem child” was like.
I did it because I knew it was wrong.
I did it because I felt defiant.
I did it because it was the only way I could think to peacefully oppose.
I did it because I knew she wouldn’t want me to.
I did it as a permanent symbol of my rebellion.
I did it to show my love and loyalty.
I did it to be different; to be a nonconformist.
I did it to be an individual.
I did it for myself.

(inspired by Rene Ruiz's 'He Shaved His Head')
