Photograph of Lies

Family photos conceal truth

Self Loathing topped

With false confidence

An ice cream sundae

Of deceit and doubt

 

Perfection projected

from photoshoped images

a portrait of family

Conceals a nightmare of reality

 

Ironed on expressions

Forced smiles not meant

A flash of supposed to be

Placed on the wall for the world to see

 

Photograph of Lies...

Author's Note

Its not finished... but I need to let it sit and brew

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

How many times do we see on the news the family next door turn to tragedy and everyone saying they seemed like the perfect family... that should be the first clue for nothing is perfect, if you don't see some kinds of little things off it means someone in the family is probably controlling the others with physical or mental abuse. Short but powerful words, certainly drives home the point.
