How Did You Get That Picture?
Hard nipples in frame, fork in hand, hair looking perfect? Did you
ask someone to take it? How do you look like that in a picture you asked someone else to take?
Could you teach me? Did you teach your friends? Were you demanding about it? Did you get
fed up? Did you worry about being a waste of time? Or ruining the moment? Do you get
embarrassed? Did you take a few or just one? Is there a part of you that thinks you're ugly?
How do I get a picture like that? Do I have to be beautiful? Do I have to think I'm beautiful? Do
my friends have to think I'm beautiful?Do I have to be beautiful even when I eat? Do I have to
cover the bill? Do I have to ask for a split check? Did you teach yourself how to make that face
or is it natural? Did you know it was coming? Did you return the favor? Do you want people to
know who you're hanging out with? Do you have an angle you're hiding? Do you have a bad
side? Does making people feel bad make you feel good? How do I hold you accountable for
how I feel about myself? Do you even know? Do you even know who I am? Do you know that I
looked you up on Facebook? You've always had a face that's really easy to love. You have a
cool job. What would we even talk about? Who makes you feel like shit? Who makes you want
to give up? How much does your actually dad make? Have you ever struggled? Is that a keratin
treatment? Nose job?
