Filtered faces Staged selfies Eating oysters Look at my new watch, sneakers this and that Look at the places I visit Look at my perfect life No colours are too bright Edited to perfection Cropped out the background Hide the mess If they don’t see it then it doesn’t exist This is my wonderful wife, life, pooch and house If I didn’t stage that selfie then this is all of what you would see the dog that won’t stop barking, the house that needs cleaned and possibly refurbished, the wife scrambling at the debt letters on the kitchen counter wondering why the money don’t cover it The life you wish to filter and draw a line under with the caption “perfect life”
