Linda’s SoCS prompt.
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is; starts with “u.” Find a word that starts with the letter “u” and use it however you’d like. Bonus points if it’s the first word in your post. Enjoy!
Underneath it all you're still just like the others No-one is perfect Posts show happiness But behind the camera I know your heart aches Correcting those faults That you think makes you lesser Ones only you see Layering filters Hiding the truth of your life Just for acceptance Don't do it. Be you Show them your reality Love what's underneath Ritu 2022
A poem dedicated to those out in the public eye and those who want to be out there but who feel like they need to show a perfection that isn’t realistic.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and each of us has our own perception.
Sometimes your filters hide your true beauty.
But I Smile Anyway...

No one is perfect…
I know this is a message for self, Ritu, but it’s also a good message for those who choose to judge and ridicule others. Nope, no one is perfect, and we need to remind ourselves of that and not make it a self or outward-projected negativity.
