Photo-Phobia Poem by Angela Wybrow

Please don't point that lens at me:
It fills me with anxiety.
I do not have a better side -
All I want is to run and hide.

I know it doesn't make much sense,
But seeing a lens makes me tense.
Of such attention, I do not dream -
In fact it makes me want to scream!

A lens aimed at me makes me feel stressed,
As a photogenic face I do not possess.
I'd rather not be in your pictures at all,
As I'd prefer to stay invisible.

Pictures of me, I do not rate;
Pictures of me, I often quite hate.
Unfriendly, I don't mean to be,
But please don't point that lens at me!
