Man in the Mirror

inauthenticity is a fad.
a trend founded on insecurity.
add a filter
use photoshop
hide your flaws
don’t let them
see.

authenticity is a choice.
a daring option for the different.
skip the filter
photoshop? don’t bother
clean off your makeup
let them see the real
you.

you are not who you think.
society’s reflection dangerously inaccurate.
you are beautiful
you are loved
you are unique
flaunt your original pizzazz
wildly.

I look in the mirror often.
I dare to see the real me.
no makeup
no photoshop
no fake facade
and absolutely positively
#nofilter.
