People say
Behind backs, in teasing tones
Disguising disgust undertoneThat you're egotistic
Self obsessed
Narcissistic
Hissing whispers
How could someone be so vain
How could someone be so sickWith hundreds of photos of yourself
Selfies, in the night, in your pajamas
Selfies, in the day, sunlight in your hair
Filters that paint your face pretty
That make you forget
how your actual face looksAnd people say
That's vain, that's disgusting
No wonder you don't have a boyfriendBecause you're too full of yourself
No one could meet your standards
In a committed relationship with yourself
No one is good enoughNo one could stand you
But do they ever think
That perhaps, just maybeThat
Each selfie is a reminder
That yes, you could be pretty
Look, right at this moment
When you pose right, when you smile right
When the sun hits right then
You could be considered prettyOr maybe even that doesn't work
So you use applications
Filters that enlarge your eyes
Sharpen your features
Change your faceIt's pathetic, you know that
But that doesn't mean you could hold back
Those emotions that threaten to overwhelm
Insecuries that make it hard to breathe
You never seem good enough
As everyone wants to leave
You keep trying to someone better
Someone else
Wondering what could be the missing pieceSelfie time
