Don’t turn your camera and hold too close;
Lucifer desires I strike a pose.
When you look inside you’ll see the dark truth;
The world demands my existence is mute.
The selfie shows I am not really here;
Replaced when just a boy due to their fear.
Turn your camera from my wicked eyes,
Lest they reveal the dark truth and safe lies.
With each image the cruel truth comes through;
Mustn’t see life from an opposing view.
He will never release me from this trap;
My light fades and sparkle dulls with each snap.
