Covered With Rust

Anywhere I go to, I am being rejected,
This filthy nature has made me dejected,
My body is all covered with conspicuous rust,
which is like raw metal ore from the earth crust,
People get scared not to get infected,
even though my face is not affected,
This reddish-brown skin has now become a stigma,
which has placed my dermatologist in a real dilemma.

Hi there, Olusequn...great couplets laced in here..I tried to write a scientific sort of write but I had to scrap it! You on the other hand, you had some fun with it! Good luck and Happiest New Year ever...there are sooo many things I gotta get turned around in the upcoming year! Gotta scrape off the rust first. Head first! ;) Gwendolen
