Now You Make Me Sneeze

The dead cells always falling off

tickles the skin around my eyes.

Something in my throat makes me cough

and eyes water, which i despise.

I don’t have a cold or the flu.

Damn you allergy; it is you.

“it’s only” shouldn’t come before

the word allergy any more.

Because it’s something in our genes.

Everlasting is what that means.

A cold or flu will go away

but allergies are here to stay.

You may get rid of a cancer

but allergies have no answer.
