Nowadays, we are so obsessed with how we look and how others see us that we forget who we really are. We are constantly trying to fit in. But you don’t need to, you know? There is nothing more perfect than you being your authentic self in a world of smoke and mirrors.
I'm Not that breathtaking person you see on screen,
I’m Not skinny enough, not curvy enough,
I’m Not the one you expect me to be,
I’m Not the one who inspires your soul,
It’s me… having flaws in my system,
Never doubted my existence before,
Until you pointed out my blemishes,
Darkening my thoughts, messing with my vision...,
Listening to critics is becoming so usual,
But what if I looked at myself full of self-love this time,
But what if I took off this dirty vision of mine to see my worth in this mirror,
That observed me breaking myself apart because of this judgy space,
And what if I kicked out all this toxic aura weighing me down,
Accepted every inch of me, stood up for myself,
Exposed my demons and the best of me,
There will be no room for filters and sophistication,
Just my soul feeling itself, shining too bright,
For the critics to even collide with my insights,
And what if I molded what I was made of,
I might have erased the rarest piece of my being,
Flat or curvy, fat or skinny, black, brown or white,
Authenticity taking over the world,
Weaknesses turning into strengths,
It's a long journey, don’t surrender,
Whoever made you feel irrelevant,
Is battling with their own demons,
So they push you down deeper,
To feel the highness they cannot reach…,
We were all meant to be different,
Embrace it, or change it, but do it for you,
Everything will fall into place,
Take a look at yourself through the looking-glass,
And see what you are missing out.
