Her Post

I loved her post

Clicked that red heart button

That broke more hearts than it mended

I saw the picture that she edited nonstop

That she filtered

Until that girl on the screen wasn’t 

Her

At

All

I never knew that though

Never saw the pile of makeup in the background

Never was aware of the behind the scenes

Just watched the final production

I wish I were her

I wish I were her

I wish I were her

No wait

I wish I’d known before

That her tiny waist and beautiful face

Wasn’t natural

Maybe Australia did the right thing?

Banned the giant web that

Caught so many of us like flies
