The #Truth behind #Flawless
Location
#Flawless
What does it mean?
when the pictures we post with it are so obscene.
We use filters to alter our faces
and then when there isn't even traces of our true self to be seen
we comment #Flawless
to feel redeemed.
Our friends and family skew comments
to make us feel satisfactory
But what if they knew the truth behind that pic?
would they be quick to use flattery?
or just use assault and battery?
We fear the unknown
of what they might say
so we shy away and comment #Flawless
to hide out dismay
I say NO MORE
with a great, rumbling roar
How could I hold myself up to such a standard
when I know I'll be beaten and slandered
I can not act like someone I'm not
So let the world know I can not be stopped
I'm #ugly #blemished
#flawed
but I know in my heart I'm #loved #accomplished
#awed
I will not be tied down by society
but I will raise up without anxiety
for who I am
without giving a damn.
This poem is about:
Me
My community
My country
Our world
