Our personality is defined by our looks
We are somehow attached to the amount of melanin in our skin
The inner thoughts of our Hearts are telling us to replicate what we see
on the media, on the news, on each other
if we want to be someone worth looking at
Our eyes tell us to add fake hair, nails, and body parts
Our feelings tell us to buy clothes, shoes, and sometimes followers
Our Hearts have been consumed by false advertisement
Ultimately, our Hearts are subject to our Mind
So let's heal that first
Think with your head, not your heart
Love with your heart, not your wallet
Evaluate relevancy with your intellect, not your eyes
Get to know a soul, not a face.
