83% off your self-esteem

i look at the cover and it seems
this is the way we're supposed to be
buying into some glossed over
frame-work of humanity.
we need to follow our hearts and dreams.
not letting our lives be simply
conditioned by magazines.

so many beautiful people let
themselves feel unfulfilled
if they don't fit some
pre-conceived notion of beauty.
if you let your heart
tell you who you need to be
you'll find a beautiful person
in the mirror everyday.

and no magazine can ever give you that.
so take those expectations
and throw them in the back
and live life as your wish.
stepping away from all of this.
if you let your heart tell you
who you need to be
you'll find a beautiful person
in the mirror everyday.
