What’s behind her social media?
Is there really a genuine smile? Or is it plastered on, like the colored lip-stain she hides behind?
Is there a girl with hurt feelings and a sad heart tweeting “happy thoughts” to deceive the world and herself?
Whether she tweets to impress, or posts for her own satisfaction,
The real question is: who’s behind her social media?
A girl who feels small in a world of tweets and posts that is centered around favorites and likes or a girl who is bold and uses her voice shamelessly?
Maybe she’s a hidden gem behind the screen of a cracked iPhone screen.
Her personality is the glittered phone case that hasn’t changed in years and her attitude is in the words per minute she can text before she anxiously hits send.
What’s behind her social media?
An innocent girl corrupted by her peer’s tweets or someone looking for a favorite.
Who is the girl behind the posts and the pictures, wearing a smile and a scarf, looking at a guy with her big eyes?
We aren’t the same. We aren’t supposed to be, and we don’t have to be.
Girls: I urge you to not hide behind your screens,
Be you and embrace yourself!
