Smile! You're on Camera

Vivid colors fill the lens
Unpredictable scenes flash back and forth
Masks begin to fade from view
Stop faking
Announcing a second chance
Raw emotion sits in for the ride
Look at me, stay in focus
Stop faking
Pretend I’m not here
Expose yourself
Confess what’s hiding
Stop faking
Let go of the secrets
Choose a new voice
Communicate with me
Stop faking
Brilliant lights are ahead
Declare independence
Give in
Stop faking
Look at my lens
Pay attention to now
See the change
You stopped faking
Again, keep going
Stay confident
Smile
You stopped faking
Come see
This girl in the picture
She’s you
You stopped faking
Lift your wings
Soar high
Be the real you
You stopped faking
Remember the exposure
Don’t forget the change
Keep the picture when
YOU STOPPED FAKING!

Pay attention to the hope. Look at the bright side of this poem, not the depressing side.
