I started off energetic and happy
But here I am panting, catching my breath
My fresh, clean, white shoes are now caked in mud
I forgot it had just rained
I’m covered in mosquito bites
I neglected the repellent
On that thought I definitely forgot my sunscreen
My arms are now a vibrant vermillion 
The noon sun is relentless
So now I’m drenched in sweat
My legs ache and I wish to rest
But every bench has been taken by another weary walker
I envy the children on the slides and the swingsets
But I decided to walk in the park instead
I guess it isn’t so easy
