Shame of the selfie

Selfies, I can smell the desperation, from here. odors of worry; rippling anxities of uncertainity. two dimensional, instantaneous impressions, pixelated presentations, and Teenage frustrations. up tilted camera. held against the light, Illuminating eyes , and eradicating spots. that looks like a good one. Vicarious representation; of how good one could look, fallible and hopeful. big bosomed dame showcasing blessed cleavage, pulsating the adolescent bulges. delivered to metal passenger, thereafter shown among peers. networked to unknown. Friends who'd never met eye, or touched skin, or even spoke. self conscious cropping of images. fat and fearful. wasted hours, dying for love. False dream of captivating the messes with her selfie. The very ugliness of impressions. Oh, how shallow we've became. The denial of the impact of aesthetics. laughable, torrents of judgement Skinny, fat, ugly, behold their desperate eyes behind the selfie.

Notes

Glance down on the selfie with objectiveness ,and open yourself to the thought process of each individual, on each selfie they take. All the billions of flaws, among all the billions of people; with each picture we take, the heart pulsates at possible notifications. The child like glee we feel when we think we look good, The somber sadness that peers over us when we feel we look bad.
