Snap
A photograph can be deceptive,
It only takes one view,
It doesn't show the inside
Only a still picture of you.
A photo doesn't move,
It is not animate in any way
Kept in a frame
Ageless, it will stay.
The photographer says, "smile",
Or some tell us to say "cheese."
In a little while
All those smiles will freeze.
Trapped forever
In a photo frame
None of us will ever
Look like that again.
