why do I wear a mask?

why I wear a mask

still

let me assure you right now

it is not a political statement

it is just a mask

a paper mask

that filters out

the tiniest of potentially

emphasis on potential

deadliest

germs

i wear a mask

because someone I love

has is sick

really sick

and no it’s not covid

and no she didn’t bring this on herself

people simply get sick sometimes

i wear a mask

because I don’t wanna risk her

getting a cold much less covid

and no no no

i cannot just not visit her

someone I love

remember?

so yessss

i wear a mask

when I visit her

a good mask

i bust out the N95‘s

because

she is scared and

i am scared

she feels so sick that

she has said that

she thinks that even getting a cold

could kill her

right now

so please

when you are around me

if I don’t know you and

if you are unvaccinated and

if you are sick and

if you have a cold and

of course if you have covid or

any

covid symptoms and

if you have a mask

please

put it on

for someone I love and

for me and

for anyone

who might have cancer or

a loved one

who has cancer

it is not a political statement

it is

her life

his life

my life

your life

it is

just a piece of paper

just a precaution

just a mask and

this is why

i wear a mask

still
