You will not find on Instagram an honest detail about my life,

You’ll see pictures of me and my best friend,

You’ll see me smile…

But is a picture really worth a thousand words?

 

You will not see my wino biological mother in a picture…

Many people do not know she even exists…

Does she…if she’s not featured in my next Instagram post?

 

My last tweet was song lyrics,

Is that a look into my soul?

No, probably just the song I was currently listening to on YouTube.

 

Who are you when no one is looking?

Is that smile real?

Mines not.

Is your hair that shade of brown?

Probably just the effect of the newest filter.

 

When I posted a picture of my newest dye job…

I didn’t include that my aunt I had not seen in 7 years did it.

 

We only include online what we want people to see,

Even when were honest,

Are we really honest?

Even now it’s hard for me to open up…

Because we’ve trained ourselves to be closed off.

 

Who are you when no one is looking?

Do you know?

Who am I when no one is looking?

Do I even know…?

I don’t think so anymore.
