Don’t confuse online presence with presence
So it seems the standard for
Online affection is Perfection.
And I will continue to offer
This seemingly perfect picture
For the pleasures of strangers.
But behind the screens,
My people like me for reasons
Not social media.
Follow me for reasons
Not photoshop.
And love me for reasons
Not perfection.
And if Goofy strips perfection,
I tarnish my perfection
For people I care for.
And if Professional demands
Perfection, so be the appearance
Of my online presence.
