Beautiful
is that what everyone yearns for?
to be pretty enough to be accepted
into such a looks-based society?
we display ourselves to the world of
social media with self portraits
more universally known as
Selfies
pictures of a whole new person
layered with filter after filter in an
attempt to cover up any hint of blemish or
imperfection that the camera might have picked up
so what would happen if we were to use
No Filter?
old identities renewed
no reason to conceal the paleness of your skin
the acne scars from freshman year
the lack of color in the picture because
Without the filters
you can see how the light reflects off of your dimple
cascading a shadow only enhancing it
or how your eyes sparkle in the two seconds
of taking the selfie and even though
you may feel hesitant without it
the filter is only doing as it's named
It is filtering the real you
you may not believe it
but eveyone will judge you not
by your selfies but by your character
because being more confident with the real
you is even better than judging yourself by a picture
and that my friend is what makes you
