Cut, pasted, retouched,
Colour brightened, face enhanced,
More curves, straighter lines,
Pronounced eyes, fuller lips,
Facial structure detailed,
Lighting just perfect.
Or is it perfect?
Am I perfect,
Because you made me look that way?
Not in my reality,
But in the picture held in your hand?
Or
Am I perfect,
Just because I'm me,
Just because everything is the way it is,
And I'm the way I am?
Do you you see me as a picture
Needing to be edited,
With imperfect lines and defects,
Or am I, the perfect picture,
As beautiful as the finished product
Of the Master painter's hands?
