Evil Hair

My hair is an evil mess,
tangled
and thick,
brushes
and combs
just won't fix.

I battle
and struggle
against the beast,
which fights back
with stings like teeth.

Eventually I give in
to those sharp stings
and let my hair be
so it stops hurting.

If it would just listen
and work with me,
it could look decent
and less fuzzy.

But it will do what it wants,
no matter what I say,
so I guess it wins,
again,
for yet another day.

Brianna, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
