This is Who I Am


take away the filters

take away the makeup

take away the hair product

 

Who am I underneath all these disguises? 

Dark circles under my eyes passed down from generations

Long flat brown hair

Brown eyes that can't see far.

Eyes concealed with big black frames

Unstraighted teeth with metal brackets

 

But who am i really beath the surface of these blemishes?

I am a warm inviting heart

A loving spirit

A passionate soul

I am beautiful both inside and out

This is Who I Really Am.
