Invisible

Finally, I wonder

We walk to school together.
It's strange;
I only ever walk to school
with my brother
and even then,
half the time,
he takes off
to walk with someone
else
like today.


But I don't mind today
because he
would've tried to stop me
from "wrecking" my hair.
I pause, worried,
so suddenly realising something
I can't breathe
for a moment.


How will my family react to my hair cut?
cccccHow will my father react?
