Allergies

ALLERGIES I’m tired of these rains of salty tears Caused by allergens in my atmosphere. Since allergies last the entire year, Why they’re called “seasonal” isn’t clear. The stinging spores are always near, Welling and swelling and telling, I fear, of my constant felling From constant tears. I can’t get my eye makeup to take, Shake, bake, or stay Because it bleeds and flakes Due to the water my eyes always make. So thanks for nothing, Allergies! ?How you piss off a priss like me! You take great liberties but show no civility, Increasing and releasing Dark shadows doing battle In all places and spaces on my face;? Usually lovely but “seasonably” ugly From the super-puffy, very stuffy Watery, red, and watershed Eyes I temporarily despise Because of these constant cries I can’t defy, deny, or hide, No matter how hard I try. I’m stuck with the leaks, peeps, So if you care about skin, nails, and hair, Beauty tips, bowed lips, and my clever quips, Please say a prayer my face is spared, Not too wizened and pared Into a beady raisin By these godforsaken Allergies which constantly And relentlessly torment me!
