Fleas

The little things that suck the life out of you...

I slept today

I'll sleep my life away

I'll fade you know

To a lighter shade of gray

 

I've been bitten

Bitten by the fleas

Sucking the life from me

They won't let me bleed

 

God knows

I have the strength

To raise myself

To my full length

 

I've been bitten

Bitten by the fleas

Sucking the life from me

They won't let me bleed

 

All my life

They took from me

I know this sure

For the life of me

This is so great! It is really unique but shows (to me anyway) how people can be fleas. They can suck the life out of you until you just want to hide. It's easier than the alternative...

...Sometimes those fleas won't give up! I enjoyed this so much!

You posted. I am so glad. I like this a lot. It is a fine beginning. I look forward to reading the entirety. You do have a wonderful way with metaphor. Many cheers.
