The Picture.

My pose when the camera clicks
defines who I am
how I feel how I think
how I want to live

My smile when the flash goes off
shows you my heart
if it breaking or healing
or rejoicing in it's light

My hair when the moment freezes
shows you my style
if i'm up and elegantly beautiful
or down and free

My makeup when the memory lasts
covers my mistakes my imperfections
brings out the beauty I'm to scared to reveal
It changes who I am to someone I aspire to be

A picture tells a thousand words
so study it carefully
you'll get more than you think
admire those who model their lives.
