Njeri Hunjeri Poet Free verse

My Tatoos

Drops 
Falling
Drops leaving stains
Drops
Falling
Am I the stain? Do I harbour the stains?

Drops falling from above 
They seem to come in unison 
Why do I feel?
Why do I feel not?
The stains are not a bother
Whether by me or the drops
They are my tattoos 
I'll wear them wherever I go
I'll wear them proud
