People Wearing Masks
People wearing masks.
Not surgeons. Not wrestlers. Not even superheroes.
I know your name, but not your face
If I saw you in public I would not recognize you
It’s true
Social networks have made you famished
Hungry for compliments and praise
All the “hmu baby ;)”s and maybe a few “omg so cuteeeee”s
You’ve seen better days
Booty shorts, cloaked in make-up, with a nice Amaro filter
Photoshop, Instagram, Snapchat
The wrong-minded thinking: I’m too fat and that’s that.
That’s not me. That’s not me.
What you see is what you get.
I am not handsome. I am not breathtaking. I am not fit.
But that’s it! I may not be fit but I am fit to be
You look at my picture and you see just me
Lanky lad with rusty hair, freckles
And those eyes. Those great big coon eyes that let you know that I don’t sleep as much as I should
Acne. Whiteheads, Blackheads. The poster child for Proactiv.
But I am proactive. You live a lie, afraid to go out, and me - I just live
So the next selfie you take, think twice; maybe more
It would be nice if more people lived life less unsure
