Forever Free


Your faces are altered

Unreconizable from the truth

I choose to live free

From the filters used by youth

And while I am no beauty by comparison

I am real

Unlike you

 

The circles under my eyes may be dark

And I dress without a care

But I will always be free

From the pressure

Of society's lense

 

Yet you choose to hide

Behind the make up

And the lights

Are you truely unhappy

With the real you?

 

Well while you live 

A falsified life

I will be forever free

Forever Me
