Selfie

Digital dose of pixels, my world of intrigue where a front camera flashes my pretty face Shares a picture-perfect life of travel, friends, love like supermodels patronize, in thousands of poses. Naive wishes sulking ,"It's still not good enough" navigate a cluttered gallery of clicks in mobile. As self-kissing pouts get lost in a vortex of emptiness, a never ending portal of glued fixation stays alive. Virtual images tampered away from reality easy to delete memories, not so exciting enough. Don't the eyes look so piercing? Eyebrows a bit too crooked ? Unbrushed hair needed some more dye? Oh! the smile is not so well-seasoned. Charm and poise plain okay, no aura, no style. I edit and crop using sepia tone filters Spontaneous magic touches on a tangible screen emanates infinite snaps of photoshop beauty. As I keep taking selfie after selfie after selfie.... A revelation to proclaim," I am in love with me"! Dated 30th January 2020 Sponsor John Hamilton Contest : Eight word challenge 1 2020 | 1. Spontaneous 2. Tangible 3. Patronize 4. Revelation 5.

A write that speaks truth with a lot of deep meaning, a true depiction of all that's wrong with this modern world, never has such excessive self love been on display as now, thanks Debjani for this excellent write!
