Fake photography
Smiles and laughs
captured on pixels with a flash,
just to disappear after the flash went off.
Cheese!
You have to smile in the photo,
even if it’s a fake one,
because we need to believe we were happy.
We need to fake the smile so we would feel good in the future.
It said the photographs could capture your soul,
and have it saved for eternity in a blank space.
Wouldn’t you torment that soul for eternity if you gave it a fake smile?
We live in a fake world where nobody shows their true self,
in a world full of lie, you be the true one,
if not to the world at least to yourself.
Fake smiles and laughs
disappear with a flash,
at least when you smile,
do it from the heart
and not for the sake of some fake photography.
