A picture's worth a thousand words,

And a thousand scars.

A picture can burn and rip you apart,

Slowly, like burning cigars.



A picture can haunt you for days on end,

There in the back of your mind.

A picture can hurt you like never before,

Pain that will make you blind.



A picture holds a certain truth

That no one wants to see.

A picture will knife you in the back,

Sharp stabs of misery.



A picture reveals who we are

Natural and unmasked

A picture captures verity

Without being asked



A picture will hide nothing

The secrets, they will spill

There you stand, unveiled

A picture, it can kill.
