Like Me, For Me

By Isabella Juanita Lyn

When was "beautiful"

not who you were

but someone fake?

Where did one leave

the true meaning

of "beautiful"?

Why was my "beautiful"

not me but someone else

when I was all I would have?

What made someone "beautiful"

in a world of filters entangling our reality?

Who decided what "beautiful" was?

A poetry collection inspired by school photos. Exploring the emotions and insecurities surrounding photos and appearance in today's digital age, this book will grip your heart and ask whether you believe in what is "beautiful" and not.

Told through an emotionally toxic relationship, this collection explores breaking free from the societal mirrors and accepting beauty and empowerment in a filtered world. This story will focus on insecurities and question why looks became the "be all, end all" for teenagers and how this impacts their thoughts and social circles.
