Finding Myself
“She’s so fake,” you say
as if I can’t hear you.
“What a liar,” you write
as if I’ve lost the ability to read.
Well excuse me for being kind
when all this time,
all I really wanted to say to you
is that you’re a complete bitch.
You want honesty?
You want truth?
I can’t stand you
#NoFilter
I despise you
#NoFilter
And that makeup you wear?
Honey please,
you aren’t fooling anyone --
you’re just as ugly outside as you are inside.
#NoFilter
“Why does she edit her pictures like that?”
“You know she’s only trying to look thin.”
I can still hear you,
I can still read!
What you’ll never understand
is I do it all for a reason --
I just want to be liked,
to be envied.
You want real?
You want natural?
Here’s a picture of my beautiful smile
#NoFilter
Here’s a picture of my big blue eyes,
no makeup to overshadow
#NoFilter
Here’s a picture of my entire body,
voluptuously curvy
#NoFilter
Without all my filters,
I’m finally free.
Say what you want,
do what you please.
I’m finally happy
just being me.
