Pictures Don’t Define Your Entire Life
A free-verse poem about how “pictures on social media” are easy things to make you jealous and compare your life to others
Pictures are only
one aspect
of our lives.
We only show
one part of our tale
for the public to read.
Pictures trick us
into thinking,
"We’re living horribly and poorly".
Pictures give us
red face flashes, tears,
and bruises in our stomachs.
Pictures make people
sugar coat the real truth
they mean to tell us.
Pictures make us think our followers
are fibbing to us on Instagram,
Facebook, Twitter, TikTok and Snapchat.
Pictures are only
one scene of a film
we generate.
It just reveals
the happy events
and not the sad events.

I guess people only post happy moments while sad moments they just used their words instead of posting a picture. Only the news post sad events pictures. Pictures to me are not fake, but I can understand for some it could be if they are force to smile in a picture when they did not feel like smiling.
