Society Standards

Society has exactly no bounds.
Now many of you males and females judge yourself by the pound.
Scared to be your own person because society expects you to look a way, act a way, and be a way.
"Every look you take in the mirror distorts your vision and it gets less clearer"
Look in the mirror look again, take a long Look... This is you, now all you have to do is figure out who that person is on the inside.
You are your own person, you have your own style, you have your own walk, you have your own talk.
My plea to you is to never let society tell you what's beautiful and what's not, what you should wear. 
Trust me it takes time but just know its all worth it just like you.
