    My Roots Needed Changing
    October 26th, 2004


    I dreamt that I was looking in the mirror and I was brushing my hair.
    I couldn't help but notice that my roots were growing out.
    My hair needed to be colored.
    It concerned me that I needed to color my hair.
    So I stood in my bathroom brushing my hair
    and hating the color of my roots.
    The roots were ashy and my hair is toned with reds.
    So I feel I must change this in real life.
    Perhaps I am in need of change.
