Picture of Me
This is a picture taken by me,
It is a picture of me,
But I do not like what I see.
My face is too round
My complexion is too shiny
My acne is showing
My nose bridge is flat
The lighting is terrible
And I do not look presentable
The more I look at it,
The more I cringe.
Let me alter it.
From auto enhance
To high contrast,
I think I’ll leave it in
Black and white.
The effects hide my concerns.
It covers them.
It covers me.
Do I like what I see?
Let me take it again.
This is a picture taken by me
It is a picture of me
My face is still round
My complexion is still shiny
My acne is still there
My nose bridge is still flat
The lighting is still the same
And I do not look my best
But the more I look at it,
The more I realize that,
This is a picture of me.
This is a picture of me
And I like what I see.
