Instead

Change yourself, they said.
People will like you better.
But I liked myself
So I dyed my hair red.

Promises of jobs and men,
A life of ordinary days.
But I have my own ordinary
So I dyed my hair crimson.

You and I may not have met,
Just glances across the room
But I have my own eyes
So I dyed my hair scarlet.
