MASK😷
What
are you going to write about me: that I
have saved millions of lives during the time of pandemic? Until few months back
I was confined mainly to the hospitals, not so elegantly dressed, just down to
neutral colors with two loops. Nobody paid any attention to me; I was just a
random item that was checked as the situation demanded.
I
have gotten a makeover now, from neutral to flashy colors, from thin loops to
adjustable hooks and tie straps, from clothes to metals. Now I am an accessory
that people are required to have. Does that make me happy, yes of course
because I feel like I have attained the pinnacle of fame in a short amount of
time. I can flaunt my beauty; I go to
many places and am not confined within the four walls of the buildings.
As
time passes, I know that nobody really likes me, but people use me without any
other choice. When people use other accessories on their bodies, they accentuate
their beauty but I on the other hand hide it.
I mask everything, mainly the smiles.
Yes, it is the lack of smiles that makes me miserable when I go out: the smiles of strangers, the smiles of
friends, the smiles of encouragement and the smiles of consolation in these
needy times.
I am a mask who has hidden all the smiles but
when will you realize that I am also one masked by hopes for a better tomorrow
in this makeover of mine?
