Your Profile Picture
(AKA something I'm thinking)
You log on
To Facebook.
Look at the picture
That’s been on your profile
For months,
And decide it isn’t good enough.
‘cause when he looks at it,
You want him to see beauty,
To hear all your words
Over again.
You want him to
See the real you,
Not just a picture
That’s on your profile.
So you change it.
Again.
And again.
And again.
And when you finally decide
On one,
You hope--
That maybe--
He’ll find
Beauty
In your dimpled chin,
Your squinted eyes,
Your wide forehead.
And you hope he won’t be thinking,
‘Man, that’s ugly.’
‘cause you shouldn’t have to change
For a guy.
You should just have to change
Your profile picture.
