Hiding Behind a Mask

Hiding behind a mask

In this strange world of ours
everyone looks the same
as we hide behind a mask

we realize how much we need to see
the expressions one makes as we communicate

the emotions of a smile
now only a glimmer from our eye

the sadness of the new normal
now becomes a tear

holding back the pain when we look at a loved one
we are trying to comfort
as we hide behind a mask
