They have been with me since I was in pre-school, as far as I can remember from a very old photo of a young innocent me. They left marks which are visible enough to be seen on photographs. Yes, that is how 'attached' they are to me.
We never part since then
Childhood, from primary to secondary even til adulthood
Their presence, never fails to be noticeable
By only the 'priviliged' few whom they adore,unfortunately
And when they sting, they cling
Til we feel the itching, darn annoying
Relentless, I swear they are
Ugly red bloody marks, in numbers, they often are
An identity I loathed to have
For I got interrogated in school for inviting these creatures
Who seemed to adore me so dearly
Ironically only a few feel their presence
As most are unscathed by them
Pleasing blood,it seems I have
To entice these blood-sucker friends
