I hate rain!

Posted on by Shaily Agrawal

Raindrop splashes

On my face

Running off makeup

That I hide myself behind–

Eyelashes thin,

Patchy skin,

Wrinkled eyes,

Lips dried,

Cheeks hollowed,

Darkening shadows,

Age creeping with all its might.

With brushes I fight

The unforgiving world

That expects perfection

In nails and shoes

And hair dos.

I wish I didn’t have to.

I wish I could just stand in rain;

So droplets would fall on face;

And let the facade slide.

Sigh!

  1. I share your pain about rain, for different reasons. Cumbersome umbrellas, dog-walking in mud, sodden clothing, and no enthusiasm to venture out. I think I should live in a desert, but then I would almost certainly complain about the heat. 🙂
    Best wishes, Pete.
