Escapril day 7! Today’s prompt was Portrait.
Poem Text:
My phone is filled with photos of things;
books, places, flowers, screenshots of shit I saw online.
There are self-portraits too; streams of selfies.
There’s probably too many, sure, but does it really matter?
No.
Most are terrible, I should delete them, but I won’t.
See, I look funny, awkward, stupid, happy, dopey, carefree, fun and unbothered.
Most I’ll never share but it’s fun to see my emotions captured in real time.
A portrait of me, exactly as I was, when I felt my expression was worth capturing.
What a beautiful thing that is, to embrace self-love and celebrate yourself as you are.
A beautiful, confident, joyous, statement of me.
