I'm not Instagram


I'm not instagram

I can't hide behind 

The earlybird filter

And make my scars 

Look more flattering 

Than what they are

I'm not instagram

I can't use 

Fifteen seconds of video

On how why you should like me

I'm not instagram 

When I wake up in the morning 

I can't post a picture

Of my outfit

Without insecurities 

I'm not instagram 

My viewers can't like share, and comment

On how I truely feel

I'm not instagram 

Because no matter how many times

I look in the mirror 

My profile picture is still...

Me...

It's still me...
