True to Yourself


 

Looking in the mirror

Finding ways to change

My hair? My make-up?

Posing different for selfies

Using filters, cropping

the list goes on

Trying to change something

Hoping I will feel better

Look at myself better

But the true beauty is

within ones self

Knowing you don't need

the newest trends, the best selfies,

with the best filter to

look like this model or that model.

True beauty is being yourself

The best self you can be

Being who you want to be

Today, tomorrow, and the rest of your life.
