Mask
By: Samantha

Mask on.
Mask off.
Quick they're coming, put it back on.
Smile wide, straighten up.
Make them like you.
Compliment them.
Ask questions.
Be engaged.
Be energetic.
Be friendly.

Be you.

No.

They won't like you.

Be the mask.
Be the costume.
Be the character.
They'll like that.

Phew, they're leaving.
You can take the mask off.

But I don't want to.
