#NoFilter


Marquel has thick, tangled hair.

He has big feet;

and struts without a care.

 

Marquel has small eyes.

He has big lips;

that tell honest lies.

 

Marquel has dark brown skin.

He has siblings that are fairly light;

though he is still close to his kin.

 

Marquel has a considerably big heart.

He can be a little cold;

but he always cared from the start.

 

Marquel has a stubborn prideful personality.

He has wonderful parents that care for his welfare;

and reassures him that he doesn't have to worry.

 

Marquel cares about his social appeal.

He has access to dozens of filters;

but he knows that none of those things make him real.
