My Mask
I wear my mask not for me, but for you
For your children
For your parents and grandparents
With their cancer, heart disease, and asthma
I fear for their lives
The sickness is brutal
Infecting their lungs
Destroying their fragile bodies
Making them miserable...
Killing them
Since I wear my mask for you
Please, wear your mask
Not for yourself
But for me and my family
This poem is about:
My family
My community
