Uninvited

Uninvited

I don’t know where they came from

I never invited them

One came first

Maybe to scout the area

To find a decent starting point

Then five more

And then ten

The more I killed the more came

Toxic chemicals hid them from view

Still they came in ever-increasing numbers

I may fight on

I will fight until the day I die

Or the day I decide to shave my head

Even though the battle makes me want to pull my hair out

One by one or by the handful

No matter what

I will not allow the grey hairs win

I am just too young to surrender

Besides that I like my brown way too much for that.
