Another long day

Pretending to be

A perfect version

Of myself. 

Filtering through 

Every image I see,

I am nothing but

What others desire.

Behind all of paint,

Behind the plastic, 

I am truly just as lovely,

I now realize so.

I am the fire that glows,

I am the wild

Elusive fox,

I am a beautiful,

Natural woman,

Behind the filter.
