She's got a strong head on those shoulders.

The back of yo' head is ridiculous.

You can learn a lot about a person by the back of their head.

Do they stand tall and proud, walking with purpose, always sure that they just did the right thing?

Or have they been tormented into a constant slouch, always looking down because they're afraid to look up and face their future?

And, most importantly, how often do they show you the back of their head?

How often do they not bother to look back, as they walk away from you yet again?

Author's Note

The back of yo' head is ridiculous.

Though your description for this poem is actually rather humorous and satirical, the poem has none of this essence. The long lines show the sheer complexity of this piece. The poem itself is very beautiful, deep in thought and purposeful. The ending is so bitterly cold and easily related to that your reader can't help, but feel SOMETHING from your words. I've no structural criticism or typos or any other flaws really, so an excellent job on this piece.
