I’d like to be a natural girl
aesthetically home-grown
A DIY princess
Instagram goddess
Externally signaling I’m internally pure
But I’m not.
I’m sharper
Internally slicing and picking
Instagram ghost
too lazy for a consistent aesthetic
Dreading attention
Yet I’m afraid of being forgotten
While equally terrified of the spotlight
an in between
Inner ego fighting the fact
One day I’ll die
What’s curious though,
Is my digital life may be buried
Long after my ashes
An Internet branded shell
Of who I once was

I’d like to be a natural girl

A DIY princess

Externally signaling I’m internally pure
But I’m not.
I’m sharper
Internally slicing and picking
Instagram ghost
too lazy for a consistent aesthetic
Dreading attention
Yet I’m afraid of being forgotten
While equally terrified of the spotlight
an in between
Inner ego fighting the fact
One day I’ll die
What’s curious though,
Is my digital life may be buried
Long after my ashes
An Internet branded shell
Of who I once was
