This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Rowan chapter.

We use the item to stop the spread of germs.

Do not speak to soft,

Do not speak too fast.

Those of hard of hearing will struggle,

Those who are not hard of hearing,

will have a hard time now.

 

A mandatory item,

to be placed over top of where we speak.

Our voices are not heard,

Your shortness of breath is caused by the suffocation of the item.

Cloth, satin, cotton, sequins, colorful, cooling,

The new fashion statements are now worn over your mouth.

 

It stops the water droplet spread,

It stops the spread of a virus,

It is meant to stop the deaths of those contacted.

It stops those from entering a store without one.

 

Face masks are our new normal.

Covering your nose,

but also covering your voice.
