Authenticity Over Publicity

So you want to know the true side of me

Well then sit down listen and you'll see

I'm the kind to choose authenticity over publicity

Anytime of day

No matter what people say

To use hurtful words is truly absurd

I don't need filters for my pictures

I prefer a natural look

This alone would have people hooked

I care more about my future

Like going off to college

To gain more valuable knowledge

 

 

What society views as beauty

Is all up to perspective

I don't have to be a cutie

Just to be respected

It is in my line of duty

To break the chains of personal labels and categories

And write my own story

One day I'll render the world a better place

But for now I have my own battles that I must face
