Be You


Are you yourself when you are at school...

out in public? 

Some people are, but that is only because they do not care what others think.

Just like on social media websites.

You have to look like you are not really you, caked on makeup, hair has to be perfect.

Just the right filters.

But what happens when you come home?

For me, I take all of that off....sometimes I don't want to.

Because I am still insecure. 

What others and myself  included need to learn, is to not worry about all that.

Take at least one day, to just not worry about all of that.

No makeup, no perfect hair, and no filters.

Just you.
