Smile for the Camera
"Smile" says the woman with the camera.
So she obeys
Her grin is large
Pearly white teeth show perfect
Only made perfect after braces, and Colgate whitening toothpaste,
She's perfect, enthusiastic, never irresponsible,
An innocent angel.
"They all love you." her friend says.
She wonders if they love that she cries everyday,
Or that she needs a relationship to feel any sense of love,
Or that alcohol is how she gets rid of those tears.
The insecurity is building once more.
"Why wouldn't they? I'm perfect" she replies to her friend with that same grin.
You know the one:
Perfectly perky
Energetically enthusiastic
Yet still inescapably insecure.
