Everyday I photographed my face
Like the guy online I sought to replicate
Everybody goes online
And snaps a pic from time to time
But I don't know
I think that I was onto something sacred
Then, when my computer died
The pixel-painted face
In every picture I'd
Taken was erased
The moments aren't immortalized
The data don't exist
The days keep slipping
Futile to resist
Yesterday I photographed my face
(I'm taking pictures of me, you're taking pictures of you)
From the angle that I learned on Myspace
(coastTOcoast533)
Turn the filters up and down
And maybe I will find out how
To stay alive forever
In this gallery curated
To present my stronger side
And leave out all the rest
The highlights of my life
Are on the internet
The moments are memorialized
The data still exists
Just keep me on your drive
And I’ll persist
