Selfies Don't Show Everything


My hair is kind of messy 

And my teeth aren't really white 

The mirror doesn't lie 

But my camera says what's right 

 

My skin looks really tan 

In that selfie I just posted 

It's certainly not summer 

And I hope that they don't notice 

 

But when the camera is away 

I have a few fucking issues

So I stand up and say 

I volunteer as tribute
