SELFIE=SELFISH


Selfie=Selfish 

In this day and age...

Selfie and Selfish have become two in the same

To spend hours on edits

Minutes on minuscule fixes 

Our obsession with our possessions is driving the world mad

This is how we want the world to view us

Seeing is not believing

What does the world really see

A skewed vision of me is better then the real me

or is it?

IM perfect

Can't you see by the B&W picture I posted of me

The soft way the light falls around my head

Trust me that was placed

It is all just an obstruction

I chose how the world sees me

I chose the blurred, overly tanned, too perfect version of myself

ME,MYSELF,AND MY SELFIE.
