David Grasby Poet Free verse

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.

John Pen April 1, 2014 at 3:12 AM I agree but its not just photographs. Our profiles on social media sites are more of what we want to be rather than who we really are

Rob Carter March 14, 2014 at 3:23 AM Very good and so true. Photos anyway have the ability to distort truth as we make our own assumptions. Rob
