blondes have more fun
they’re social butterflies
bright, beautiful, and brave
not caring about what people have to say
expected to be bold and speak their minds
to be out every friday night
as if the pigment in your follicles defines you
the lighter your hair, the more outgoing you are
the louder you are
the more you let loose
because blondes have more fun
i’m a blonde
artificially
i feel as if i stand out more
yet i’m looked at as ‘dumb’
because, the bleach in my hair is a big sign that there’s nothing going on in my mind
right?
i’ll confess, i don’t understand chemistry
but i make all As and Bs
with an occasional C
not because i’m blonde
but maybe if i went back to my darker roots
then i’d have better grades
but for now
i’m a blue eyed girl with blonde hair
which means i’m probably a cheerleader
and that i might have a boyfriend with more muscle than he knows what to do with
along with countless friends
and everything i could ever ask for
but you couldn’t be more wrong
blondes aren’t always more fun
blondes aren’t always dumb
blondes can be empowering women
business women
strong women
or even just women
the color of my hair doesn’t determine who i am
i determine who i am
and that’s more fun than being blonde ever will be
