Selfies

Photo-edited,
airbrushed perfection--
never understanding
that picture
can't hold a candle
to her natural self:
the light within--
How she shines.
No artifice needed,
no pouty mouth
or sardonic look necessary.
Anyone who knows you,
already knows
and those who still don't,
never will,
Just be you.
That is photogenic.
