She looks each person in their eyes and smiles

In hopes they don't see her nervousness

She introduces her self

And explain everything

Sometimes she have to repeat herself

A soft voice she was born with

But her job is to relive others anxiety not her owns

So she where a social masks

And takes it off on her way home

Silence she needs

A headache formed under that mask

Because it's hard to breathe under the social mask

So she stay in bed all day dreading the day she have to put that social mask back on
