"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment" -Ralph Waldo Emerson-


She looks through her feed
at all the amazing pictures
that capture the right moment

But she doesn't know about
the million shots that
were taken before the one posted

She looks through her feed
at all the brilliant smiles
that seem so happy

But she doesn't know about
the true feelings that
are hidden beneath the smile posted

She looks through her feed
at all the cool things
that everyone is doing

But she doesn't know about
the self-consciousness
that lies between the status posted

She looks through her feed
and looks sadly at herself
alone in her room

But she doesn't know
that's ok too
