Njeri Hunjeri Poet Free verse

Things Fall Apart

Why is this day so grey
Why is the sun behind dark clouds hiding its rays 
Why am I feeling like am melting into clay
We are in March, but why do my mind tell me it's May

Stopping at the traffic lights and lights go red, yellow, green
                     Repeat
Lost in my fears
                     Honk
I wake up
Catching a glimpse of flashing blue,red lights
I drive away
Smelling my fears
Can't look at the mirrors
My body all covered in tears
