She took a picture
And loved it to the moon and back
Was a little scared to post it in this sadistic world
Tried to mold it, so there’s nothing it lacked
She emended it in countless ways
Filtered, cropped, changed it’s tone
Still wasn’t sure of how enduring it was
So decided to frame it in the bubble of her sweet home
It’s not her fault
She just wanted to keep it safe
But was unaware
She was building a cage
There’s nothing else more precious than her love
As it’s the only way to get a glimpse of the heaven above
But she forgot one thing
It’s not a picture of who she wished she could be
It’s her daughter who has a world to see
