Filters For Esteem
She's Intelligent
She's Smart
She's Bright
She just has to find the right light
The right filter
The right angle
Her self-esteem dangles
within an image on her cell phone screen
She wants to appear perfect it seems
like those girls on tv
magazines and music videos
like those plastic barbie girls
who's real features they won't show
She's obsessed with fantasy
Altering herself in pictures for the world to see
The right angle
The right filter
The right light
Why can't she see that her future is bright?
That she's intelligent
That she's smart
That her brain is the true work of art
Not her face that she filters for esteem
True beauty can't be shown on a cell phone screen.
