Paint Me Like I Am

I know this                        it is our confidence that controls us.

                                         It always was

                                         It always will be

I know this                        nobody thinks just about themselves

                                        we look at everyone around us

                                        We always want what someone else has

I know this                        we thrive off of the schievements and downfalls of each other

I think                                nobody loves their own flaws as they

                                         they love the flaws of someone else.

                                         Our view of ourselves

                                         will make or break us.

                                         Our confidence level

                                         Influences all of our opinnions.

(it is our loss.)

We need                           to listen to our compliments

We need                           to hear our own voices

We need                           to respect imperfections

                                        Of our own flaws

I know                              growing up with social media is hard

I know                              we have learned we should look a certain way

I know                              we will want everything we don't have

                                        Instead of loving what we have

                                        Even through we are perfect

We need to thrive off of our flaws

                                   We need imperfections...We deserve love

We owe it to ourselves to re-create beauty

                                   And find a way to be happy no matter what we look like

              Paint me flawed                   Paint me happy Paint me Ava

                                                               I am a poet
