Wind tangles my hair,
Red lipstick sticking locks of hair to my full lips,
Rolling up the window I flip on the air,
Shivering I whisper don’t worry I’m almost there.

Lovely for such a full poem. The only thing that bothers me is the lack of commas. I feel that if you put them in, they will feel more natural and allow pauses in the poem where the reader can pause and take a breath, instead of rushing through all at once.
