I'll send you a post card

to show you that I am doing well.

And that really, its quite beautiful here.

It will be a picture-perfect scene

of the forests and waterfalls.

or maybe the red desert baking under the sun.

When really, not everything here is a picture-perfect scene.

Why, with a post card, you're only seeing this place as everyone wants you to see it. 

Not the poverty, or beaten dirt roads. 

Or the foreclosed houses. 

But, I'll send you a postcard

so you'll think I am doing well

and that really,

this place is quite

beautiful.
