I've made a shocking
Discovery.
None of us have
Chests.
And none of us
Ever did.
We all have green screens
Stretched over our hearts.
Stretched tight
Tight enough to suffocate.
Green screens that show us what
We want to see.
What we want each other
To be.
And it's easy to suffocate in the
Green screens they put on us.
But before you tear that fabric off
Keep one thing in mind.
You keep the editing program somewhere
Deep inside your mind.
And you're the one splicing the pictures
For everyone you meet.
And that's harder to uninstall than
What we put over our chests.
