I always wonder what it like to get a picture taken of you
For doing something so simple
To see the natural beauty others see in me
Instead all I see are my flaws and imperfections
I hide away from the camera
To hide from my reflections
To save myself the pain
Not wanting to deal with the self pity I get when I say I don't like how I look
being told "no you look fine"
"What do you mean this is what you usually look like"
Dreading those family photo, group photo or any photo of me for that matter
So instead I say I hate taking pictures
To me all I will ever see is my imperfections staring back at me
