THE MASK<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcm breathing
It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s warm under
The mask
The moisture fogs
My glasses
This is quite an
Annoyance<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcm breathing
Slowly
I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to
Panic
The mask is
In the Way<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My thoughts
Are wandering
When will this
Annoyance end?
I\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcm ready for it
Now<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I feel grief
Is taking a hold
Of me
A grief that
Mourns days past
Which at times
Seemed normal
But also terrifying<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What was so good
About life before
The mask?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did I communicate
More?
Was I closer to
Others?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wish I could say
My life had been
Awesome before
The mask
But that would be
A lie
And I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like to
Pretend<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mask
Actually
Didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t change
Much for me
But now I see
Others
More clearly<\/p>\n\n\n\n
