Story Teller

 

A perfect frame for

perky porcelain cheeks

created with just a small

boost of contrast— just a bit

it erases the dark caves under the eyes

 

This is important because

with the eyes in this photo will tell you

a thousand happy and very awake words

and make sure you know Everything

I want you to know.

 

This is important because

Now no blemish can distract you from my story.

And I won’t have to tell you “sorry”

for staying up too late watching rom-coms

 

With this contrast the hair will become darker

the grime in the hair won't have to be explained

from a long days work

—Or I mean, that I really just didn’t care to shower

 

This picture will not remind you

Of such things

 

Because it is not relevant to what I have to say
