The Mosquito

I am the vampire
Made real from the depths of your imagination.
I lurk in the dark places during the day
Creeping slowly
From underneath your papers and books
To the insides of your clothes.
At dusk I am fearless
And the world is my kingdom.
You fear me
Because you know our bite carries the possibility
Of deadly disease.

I am always around you
Even when you think that I am not
You may kill me with smoke, flame, poison, and electrocution
But there are thousands like me to take my place
You may hide in your nets day and night
But we are always waiting just outside them.

We will always win
And you know it.
