deleted selfie

the teenage emblem

of a stereotypical vision

a flash on a screen

edited with precision

emits narcissism

among people who judge

an image of yourself

makes some hold a grudge

and along with the post button

comes anticipation and pain

phone-dwellers scrolling past

confidence down the drain

questioning your beauty

without having someone by your side

insecurity in being the center of attention

where your imperfect face can’t hide

for a hundred likes

just aren’t enough

tears falling on a deleted picture

but hey,

that’s just the non-important teenager stuff.
