behind the scenes #nofilter


I remember the girl behind the scenes,

the girl with no filter, the girl with no make up.

I was the girl behind the scenes,

the girl with no push up bras and just an A cup.

 

I remember the girl behind the scenes, 

I was the girl with acne like a pepperoni pizza.

I was the girl behind the scenes,

the girl who put on make up to seem like a diva.

 

I remember the girl behind the scenes,

she struggled with her weight.

I was the girl behind the scenes,

and I barely even ate.

 

I remember the girl behind the scenes,

she finally discovered herself.

I was the girl behind the scenes,

and I was finally happy with myself.

 

I remember the girl behind the scenes,

and how she felt inspired.

I was the girl behind the scenes,

the girl that so many admired.
