The Weight of Perception

The Weight of Perception

(Verse 1)

In a world where filters reign,

And beauty’s sold like fleeting fame,

We chase a glow, yet feel the pain,

Complexion dismorphia, a heavy name.

(Chorus)

Look in the mirror, what do you see?

A face distorted by society’s decree.

Flaws amplified, the perfect skin,

But who defines beauty, where do we begin?

(Verse 2)

Scroll through feeds, a curated show,

Each flawless visage, a heavy blow.

With every post, the bar is raised,

And in this game, our worth’s misplaced.

(Chorus)

Why does it happen? We yearn for the light,

To fit in the mold, to feel just right.

But in this chase for the perfect hue,

We lose ourselves, forget what’s true.

(Verse 3)

It’s the whispers of doubt, the societal grip,

The constant comparison, a sinking ship.

We mask our faces, hoping to find,

Acceptance in looks, but peace of mind?

(Bridge)

What the hell is going on? It’s all so loud,

Chasing shadows, lost in the crowd.

Yet beneath the surface, we’re all the same,

Unique in our stories, not just a name.

(Outro)

So let’s embrace the scars, the lines that tell,

Of laughter and tears, we’ve lived so well.

In a world obsessed with the flawless facade,

Let’s celebrate our truth, however flawed.

For beauty’s not just in the skin we wear,

It’s in the kindness, the love, the care.

Let’s break the cycle, reclaim our sight,

And redefine beauty, make it our right.
