I Hate My Selfie

Don't get me wrong I do love myself
It's my selfies that give me hell
When I think I've clicked the perfect pic
20 shots later that's still not it

I take the filter remove the lines
How many lines can one man find
It's an age-old problem I've been told
Why does the camera make me look old

I've got the angle I've got the smile
The perfect lighting set on the dial
Hold my phone back to where I can snap
As my phone once again makes me look like crap

Always thinking I have the perfect pic
20 shots later that's still not it 
Oh, don't get me wrong I do love myself 
It's just my selfies that are giving me hell
