#FiltersDon'tDefineYou!


Who am I unfiltered? Are you SURE you want to know?

You might want to prepare yourself for what I'm about to show.

My face is full of pimples, pores and blackheads too.

They never seem to go away no matter what I do.

My teeth are pretty straight, though I'm sure they could be whiter.

I dream of a smile that is flawless, one that is brighter.

I can't forget my nose - it haunts me every day.

It's bigger than most people's. "Toucan Sam" they say.

My hair is terribly frizzy. It's so difficult to tame.

Despite my expensive products, it still stays the same.

Filters may fix these flaws, but they don't change who I am.

Who cares about my pimples? Who really gives a damn?

Because I know I'm awesome unfiltered - I love every part of me.

Especially my kind heart, I promise that's the key!

 Its not about perfection or being perfect like some say.

It's about being blessed with friends to laugh with everyday!

I love with all my heart and trust with all my soul. 

I don't care if I'm not perfect. Being happy is the only goal!
