As We Are

(Basically),

Behind

These

Blue

Eyes

Is

A

Mind

And

A

Soul

That

Loves

To

Run

In

The

Sunshine

And

Laugh

And

Sing

Silly

Songs

With

You.

 

Filtered

Photos

Cannot

Define,

Portray,

Or

Display

Me

As

I

Am

Or

Humans

As

We

Are—

 

(They

Cannot

Account

For

How my head falls back when I laugh out loud

Or

How your “Hey there!” makes the day brighter.)

 

—Because

People

Are

(So

Much)

More

Than

Pixels

And

Hearts

Cannot

Be

Understood

Through

A

Screen.
