The Perfect You


A few hundred likes really mean nothing

A perfect face and a beautiful smile,

Hidden behind a wall of insecurity,

Under the waves of social validation.

The shreiking self doubt drowns out true beauty;

These chains must be broken.

Break free from the frivolous expectations.

Look past the senseless criticisms.

Be the real you.

Be perfect you.

Be you, #NoFilter.
