Take Five

Take Five

A Poem by Alvin L. Kathembe

I love who I am around you -

So naturally; so effortlessly; so unconsciously

Me -

I love who I am around you

’Cause, depending on the situation

I can be

Whoever I need to be

I have many different faces

For all of life’s little masquerades

But around you…

The mask can be laid aside -

A little while -

And I can breathe a bit

The costumes are all put away

And I can crack a smile.

 

You’re my

“Take five.”
