"SELFIE" in "RESTLESS: POETICALLY-SPEAKING"

All well-dressed up everyday
Never let any flaws get in your way
to perfection, your ultimate destination.

Your camera’s ready
You’re bubbling with excitement and glee,
thinking: “This is me.
I’ve got to look always so pretty!”

Click, click!
Don’t forget to use that stick.
No need to care if you make them feel sick.

Here, there, and everywhere
Flash your smile; show them what you wear
Let’s hope that they’ll also compliment your hair

Don’t they know?
You’re the superstar of your only show
Perhaps they’re just being too slow
If they’d look closely, they might love you so

Click, click!
You’re still relying on that stick
No need to care if they think you’re a freak
Perhaps someday, you’ll have fans who shriek

You’re still the star of your own personal show
yet you’re also the only audience,
waiting for more attention
like the noisy beats without the dance

Can’t they see that you’re so pretty?
They know you’re so lonely
You’re the most stunning diva in your perfect little world
Outside, they might think you’re just another, ordinary girl

Is your camera still ready?
Don’t forget to recharge the battery
