Filtered, airbrushed in pictures, botoxed in real life
Flawless, perfect, unblemished face
The right skin tone, gloriously sun-kissed
Not a strand of hair out of place
Perfectly pouting in a lovely location
(COVID cannot ruin photoshoots after all)
Masterful editing used to convert
Into a majestic cascade a local waterfall
Half a million subscribers need content new
To live their fantasies vicariously
More views mean more endorsements too
Balanced on these numbers precariously
Sits her career as a social media influencer, therefore
She hashtags “no filter”- the market for authenticity is high
She brushes aside the intermittent twinges of guilt
And proceeds to post to social media her clever lie..
Passion...unbridled
