OMG Should I Use Rise or Valencia?
Which filter
Should I
Use?
The hottest debate
Of the
21st century.
We all
Hide behind
Filters,
Covering up
The real
Us.
We mock those
Who hashtag
#NoFilter.
But
I
Envy
Them.
Those who
Are confident
Enough
To show
Their
True selves--
With nothing
But a
Smile
Painted
On their
Pretty faces.
That is a
Mark of true
Self-confidence
That I
Only wish
I had.
I don't
Have
Low self-esteem,
If that's
What you're
Thinking;
I'm
Just
A girl,
Teetering on the edge
Of our society's
Dangerous mindset--
That the
Number of likes
You get on a "selfie"
Defines
Your
Self-worth.
I long
For us
As a society
To break free
From this shallow
Way of thinking.
I want
To show
The real me,
With no fear
Of being
Judged.
This
Is
Me--
#NoFilter.
