Who are you fooling?

I see you, girl.

Covering up your insecurities with this cowardly confidence; the facade of a bad bitch to conceal your hesitance. Impressive… yet the cracks in your foundation are so tragically evident. You may have different mediums at hand to create such a misleading mask but I can see right through you. A lot of people do.

You see, you do this dance with false confidence, imagining yourself on a pedestal that doesn’t exist. You’ve got the right face, the long legs and the luscious lips to prove it. Putting yourself above the little people, those that “ain’t worth it” when in reality, you’re at the same exact level as them.

There shouldn’t have to be levels, but you don’t understand. These levels are so engraved into your mind that you’re never satisfied; always wanting to one-up the next one, have the upper hand.

By thinking of yourself so highly, you bring yourself down. Reckless with your words, you don’t care who you hurt… but ultimately, you’re wounding yourself. Your reputation suffers through your ruthless berserk, all because your confidence has turned to cockiness. This facade you’ve created for yourself has turned into self-destructiveness. Only time will tell when you lose your sense of your consciousness, completely lost in the abyss that is yourself.

The further you get lost in yourself, your reflection, people’s perceptions, the more you lose the true you—the beautiful soul behind the shell of an arrogant bombshell.

Stay true to you, not the distorted perceptions of you. Why be a dime, two-faced, when you could be a diamond? Multifaceted and shining, wherever the light hits.

That, is true beauty.
