No matter what she did, everything reminded her of him. She has tried numerous ways to get rid of the empty feeling inside but it wouldn’t go away. She knew she missed him but she didn’t want to miss him.

“Miss Amber Liu!” Ms. Mi called, dragging Amber away from her thoughts.

“Y-yes?” Amber asked, startled.

“Would you please read the next poem in the book?” Ms. Mi asked, clearly annoyed from calling Amber for the last 10 times.

“Y-yes. Of course.” she bowed apologetically. Amber held the book up to her face and started to read:

You wear way too many masks

You wear way too many masks

Which one is the real you?

You wear way too many masks

I can’t tell which one is true

You wear way too many masks

Can’t you just take them all off?

You wear way too many masks

Now I’m just lost

You wear way too many masks

Because you’ve deceived me over and over again

You wear way too many masks

Because the person I first met was a pretend

You wear way too many masks

But I still try to uncover them

You wear way too many masks

Because I would always find a new one

You wear way too many masks

I’m giving up

You wear way too many masks

Because you’re trying too hard to cover up

You wear way too many masks

And you won’t take any off in the end

You wear way too many masks

So now, you’ve officially lost a good friend

“Thank you Miss Liu. Now…” Ms. Mi continued but it didn’t take long for Amber's mind to lose itself in it’s own thoughts again. This poem reminded her too much of him and herself.
