Masks or Walls or Both?
While I was thinking about it, how do you protect yourself? Build a wall or wear a mask? Or perhaps both? Poetry only, in any form.

Masquerade

Everyday I attend a dance

Everyone must wear a mask

If you want to take a chance

If you're ever up to the task

Don't try to remove your mask

If you do they all will stare

They'll approach you and ask

"Leaving it all out to air?"

Behind my mask I am secure

No one questions, no one tries

Leave it on and I am pure

Protected and safe behind my lies

I am 21 years or older.
