Red
A misunderstood phenomenon;
One without end.
Associated with rage,
Or a passionate fire.
However true it may seem,
Those of us with the curse,
Have a calm disposition, deep down.
Please do hesitate in your judging,
For we, we are human too.
Red is our blessing, our curse,
We are few and we are unwavering.

I am a ginger. Yes, yes. In school we had to write about some trait we have and I chose my hair because only 4 in 100 people are red heads. Often times red heads are judged as angry and hot tempered. Really, my friends say I am the most gentle person they know. = )

this is super cute. I'm a redhead too, but I am a bit of a hothead.
