Beautifully Me

Beneath the blush is a young woman who loves others beyond measure

Under the mascara is a young woman who lives for the little things in life

Take away the filter on my selfie and you will see a girl ready to spread her wings

No makeup, clothing, or filter can capture the authenticity of me.

I am stronger than my muscle mass lets on,

And more driven to succeed than anyone knows.

My stubborn ways prevent me from living someone else’s life

And I refuse to accept failure.

No makeup, clothing, or filter can capture the authenticity of me.

In my most authentic form, I am full of both confidence, and insecurities.

In my most authentic form, I long to prove the people who doubt me wrong.

In my most authentic form, I choose to push myself beyond my mental and physical limits.

In my most authentic form, I have a passion for helping other people reach their dreams.

No makeup, clothing, or filter can capture the authenticity of me.

This is me without any makeup, filter, fancy clothing, or autotune.

This is the me that society urges to cover up.

I refuse to conform and be what I am not.

No makeup, clothing, or filter can capture the authenticity of me.
