Picture Perfect

I can’t lie,

I can only show what is put in front of me.

I hold your smile digitally,

but in reality,

it doesn’t exist.

I can show off your life, your materialistic possessions,

but the photo is highly edited,

and the brightness is on full blast.

 

I focus on the picture in the lens,

 it’s all about what I see,

and what I can show everyone else.

If I can make it look perfect,

it doesn’t matter what’s going on behind me.

Everything else comes second,

even your real life,

everything else must make way for

your picture-perfect life.

 

Just point me in the right direction.
