Wearing a Mask

I have dried my tears

Put on a brave face

Sometimes

Like wearing a mask



I have seen tears

Put on a good face

Sometimes

Like wearing a mask



I have talked about good times

I have talked about bad times

Sometimes

Like removing a mask



Now I wear:

A yellow contagion coat, hood, mask and gloves

Sometimes

Dew on my glasses

Hello Jo Mykle Hofseth, to wear a mask is important. I wear glasses and they get fogged up. Yet I know it is important to wear the mask. Enjoy your day my friend.
