Poems
May 2020
I have to put the mask on
I'm not much for concealment.
I prefer to fight in the open.
But this an enemy I cannot see.
So I have to put the mask on.
I don't like hiding from you dear.
I've always been an open book.
But I've sworn to protect you.
So I have to put the mask on.
It's not exactly stylish,
and it pinches near my ears.
But I realize the dangers around me.
So I have to put the mask on.
Someday this will all be over.
We'll dance without any fear.
But right now it's about survival.
So I have to put the mask on.
