U.G.L.Y

Without the filters, all my imperfections are shown, lain across a wide range of different opinions. 

Some are ugly, just plain ugly. There are so many things to hate about the way I look. 

I edit my selfies for a reason, to hide the ugly away from people I don't know. 

Though it is nice to take off the makeup once in a while. It's nice to get away. 

My iconic baby blue eyes everyone falls for, those are the only things that don't need a filter. 

My eyes are beautiful even without the makeup and filters. 

My dimples, I'd never give anything up for those. 

My friends think I'm pretty, and beautiful or gorgeous. 

I don't see it, basically my selfies without filters are ugly. My acne, my freckles, scars are what make me ugly. 

There's a level of comfort when I have finished adding another filter or edited my facial imperfections. 

Maybe one day, someone somewhere will show me I don't need those things to be perfect.
