4Ccherry

My bad ass alter ego, I call her 4Ccherry 🍒 Tormented by the world’s perception of her beauty while learning to define her own standards Her hair constantly the center of attention and her coils the butt of world’s jokes Her crown constantly tugged at by entitled strangers Constantly questioned by her own skinfolk It’s no wonder she often wears that sarcastic smile when she gets complimented Compliments that seem to vanish when she wears her natural crown, her 4C textured coils It’s no wonder she revels in her unapologetic awkward black girlness She wraps her head with her coils both flaunting and hiding her truth, her gifted insecurity Unsure of what the world has in store as she steps out in her full form, 4Ccherry🍒
