Blinded

Blinded by the flash
make it perfect.
Take thousands,
use one.
Cover any imperfection with fictitious filters.
Make sure it catches a smile.
A laugh,
a pose,
a flawless life.
Blinded by the flash
you’re deluded into thinking life is unblemished.
You believe that’s the full reality.
The real life,
no bruises into the world
you believe every photo shows a full story,
a full life.
Blinded by the flash
you are blinded to the truth.
Because the truth is ugly.
