So true! I love how it is told from the mask's perspective! If I were a mask, I definitely would have those thoughts. These times are so difficult!! -Raven Schewe, age 11

My Mask

Published by Family Friend Poems October 2020 with permission of the Author.

I just want to be a good friend.
I'm not here to start a new trend.
I know I'm not the perfect fit.
I know I may irritate you a bit.
I just want a bit of respect
As it's you I'm trying to protect.
I know I can be in your face,
But to discard me is a total disgrace.
I know I'm new to your life,
But I'm here to relieve stress and strife.
I know I don't fit in with your style,
And behind me you always hide your smile.
I know you won't need me for long,
But I still want our bond to be strong.
I want to go everywhere with you
Even if it's just standing in queue.
So trust me, I'm up for this task.
I promise, I'll be a good Mask.

ABOUT THE POET:

I have been writing poems for a while now and my friends and family thought I should start keeping them, i’d write one for special days like anniversary’s or weddings, or just to pass the time... but I’d delete or dispose of them, but I’d like to share a few with you, I hope you enjoy them. Please share if you like them....
