The girl within

Location

Pimples, stray hairs, double chin

What's that thing below my eye?

Internet girls look so thin

She has freckles; why don't I?

 

But have you seen her off the screen?

Not through Facebook, not on Tumblr

She's not the same as she may seem

Yet all these girls want to become her

 

For every beauty on the net

An insecure girl lives inside her

That girl inside is so much better

Her photo filters only hide her

 

My acne, fat, and misplaced hair

Are beautiful because they're true

Bare your soul; your beauty's bare

Let no filter filter you
