The camera is not my friend.

Mainly because it lies

and shows a stranger on-screen

someone I do not recognize.

Who is this person

I see on the screen?

That stranger is someone

I have certainly never seen.

The voice?

That is not what I sound like in my head.

The appearance?

That is not what I look like the mirror said.

The camera hates me

but it sure seems to love you.

It captures your quality

faithful and true.

But when it turns to me

the camera always lies

because it shows a stranger

someone I do not recognize.
