Behind The “Mask”


I am that bubbly girl that loves to laugh,

Loves fashion and beauty,

Loves makeup and its art,

Loves to dance,

And loves to express my Bosnian culture.

 

Without the filters I am not that enhanced,

I do not glow as much without that candlelight,

I have straight dirty blonde eyelashes,

And my lips are not naturally Marilyn Monroe red.

 

But I am real.

 

I am not afraid to make funny faces,

I am never embarrassed to get sweaty by dancing until I can't breathe,

I am not afraid to act like an idiot,

And I am not afraid to speak my mind.

 

I show when I am angry,

Sad,

Or downright tired.

 

I show my true feelings all the time,

I do what I love,

Dance for Bosnia,

Praise Bosnia,

Write,

And study fashion and beauty.

 

I will wear that green chunky face mask,

I will wear an oily hair mask,

In front of anyone,

Because I do not care.

 

So once in a while go NO FILTER,

I know its scary but trust me,

There are some pictures where no filter is the perfect filter,

Because it shows the true you.

Only enhance, never mask.
