Picture Perfect

LUCY

MOST OF THE TIME

I THINK I’M PRETTY LUCKY

I’M HEALTHY AND I’M HAPPY

LIFE FEELS...OK

BUT THEN WHEN I

START SCROLLING THROUGH MY PHONE

I WORRY I’LL BE ALONE

‘TIL THE END OF MY DAYS

ALL THESE GIRLS

IN MY INSTAGRAM STORIES

HASHTAG BLESSED IN THEIR BEAUTIFUL WORLDS

UNDER THEIR INFLUENCE, GREEN WITH JEALOUSY…

LOOK AT HER PERFECT TAN

BOYFRIEND WITH PERFECT ABS

LOOK AT THEM HOLDING HANDS

I WANT THAT PICTURE PERFECT LOVE

POSING DOWN ON THE BEACH

SMILING AND LAUGHING WITH SHINY TEETH

I WANT THAT PICTURE PERFECT LOVE

DEEP DOWN I KNOW IT’S FALSE

IT’S FAKE AND IT’S POSED AND IT’S FILTERED AND PHOTOSHOPPED I STILL WISH I LOOKED THAT HOT

THEY’RE SO SKINNY AND PRETTY AND GORGEOUS - UGH, JUST PISS OFF

DON’T I DESERVE LOVE?

OR IS IT RESERVED UNTIL TEN THOUSAND FOLLOWERS? MY WORLD ISN’T HOLLYWOOD

BUT CAN’T I KEEP DREAMING OF MY HAPPY ENDING?

DEAR GOD, PLEASE SEND ME SOMEONE WHO LOOKS JUST LIKE HIM...OR HIM...OR HIM

LOOK AT HIS FLOWING HAIR

DRINKS COFFEE IN UNDERWEAR

HE’S GOT THAT PIERCING STARE

I WANT THAT PICTURE PERFECT MAN

LOOK AT HIS MASSIVE BULGE…

…I WANT THAT PICTURE PERFECT MAN

MAYBE MY STANDARDS ARE TOO HIGH (THEY’RE WAY TOO HIGH) MAYBE I’M GOING AFTER THE WRONG GUYS (THEY’RE NOT VERY NICE) COS IF I’M BEING HONEST,

ALL I REALLY WANT IS...

SOMEONE TO HOLD AT NIGHT

SOMEONE WHO HELPS ME SHINE

SOMEONE TO MAKE ME SMILE

I WANT THAT PICTURE PERFECT LOVE

SOMEONE WHO’S ALWAYS THERE

SOMEONE WHO I CAN CALL MY BEST FRIEND

I WANT THAT PICTURE PERFECT LOVE
