Unmasked and Unguarded
Photographs freezes in time
Breaks in reality
Thoughts of memories long ago
Still frames of goals set for yourself
People to look up to
Remember so eloquently
Fragments of a time before
I wonder to myself
Are these pictures true identities
Or fake smiles impersonating who they really want to be
Or let you see
We have the ability to crop, to dull , to enlighten.
Our photographs in time
But for me I rather be
Unedited, unchanged
Cropped into the lives I love forever
Unmasked and Unguarded.
