Embodying My Personification

If I Photoshopped a pic of me,

I'd crop it, color it in sepia and make me a portrait in black and white

I'll include all the framework once discarded

Blending it till my portrait was just right

I'll include a visual interpretation of what I see of me

I'd pencil me in a microphone, imaging a soul-stress I aspire to be

I'd erase that dim cloud

That seems to linger over my head

And substitute it with a silver lining

For good fortune instead

I'd fine-tune the sharpness

And swallow this potent capsule of epitome

Flushing away all that makes me feel disgusted inside

That left me drained, feeling sick of me

If I used Photoshop

Maybe temporarily to alter my flick

I'd erase all the things I see in the mirror

That make me weary and sick
