Selfie
*Click*
*Snap*
Agh man!
That looks okay right?
Ok this is it!
Perfect!
Well good enough....
Perfect selfie
Perfect picture
Picture perfect
Snapping,flashing, changing position
Search for perfection.
To be liked
To be loved
To be worshipped

Fake, fake, fake
Photoshop, Sepia, walden, blacks and whites,
The flaws are now hidden
Filter over filter the true image is now concealed
Personality is not the only thing being preserved.
This is the future
Developing from negatives
We are the photo itself
Our generation
Full of online exposure
Of what we think will feed the hunger
Being liked by people all over the world
But feel empty when we aren't desired

Selfies, taking pictures of yourself, has sadly become a part of our generation. Making it a goal to take that perfect picture to share with our followers that we do really have a fun life or what it looks like. Our self image is flawed and by covering the picture it hides just the little bit we don't want to be seen.
