A Photoshopped Life

I awake royal blue It fades to a teal Just a different hue To change my appeal Come noon, neon yellow Before long, an off white For a moment I'm mellow Seeing the light Everyday, come supper I'm as red as an apple A weathered fixer upper Splotchy and dappled Much too often My colors bleed out I find myself caught in A saturation drought My contrast, I tweak Adjusting my vibrance For hidden hues, I seek In hopes to enhance Sometimes I find I'm underexposed I can't see when I'm blind Or fix what doesn't show In desperate moments I click delete Though the process is dense Again, I'll repeat Often I'll distort Overindulge in a tone An alternative port Highlights blown I manipulate emotions With photoshop talents My colors I blend It's a daily balance
