Stain in my shoes

Cloudy weather with a rain drip in the early morning

Hush I took a little run ignoring water  that drops at my raincoat

try to ignore my cell phone from the people that calling

I must get to the office,  don’t want to be late

 

My eyes so often see the watch, seems like a sign of warning

Ignore the panting breath, keep moving forward

Sometimes  I step on the puddle water that forming

My breath becomes a smoke along with footfall taken  onward

Taxi, while i raise my hand straight

racing with time that going faster and faster

driving from the narrow to the main street

see the people running in the raining that get harder

 

Finally, I arrive at the office gate and push the door

Embrace the crowded room with people that coming

Take off my raincoat, that cover my skirt and pant before

Everything seems so clean and dry without something

 

But when I look down and find there a huge stain in my shoes

Dirt from the path  I have taken

 

We can cover up all the things that have taken

But there always left something as a trace that cannot be erased

Like stain in my shoes

[Laminators Dubai]

this isn't simple. Anyone can compare it to this to their entire life....seems like a journey. a long journey that ended up stained by action or reaction. 100/100

Haha, interesting poem! Yea, it's pretty gross to think what our shoes go through or get on them! I was my flip-flops with bleach and water once a week. Nice poem.
