Unapologetically you

I think those who can’t smile for a camera are “unequivocally you.”

That is to say,
When you can’t fake smile for the camera,
And it looks awkward,
And it looks silly
And it looks bizarre —

That’s Because it is!

They feel awkward,
They feel silly,
It feels bizarre;
It’s just not who they are.

They smile when they smile,
And only then it feels real
Because that’s who they are!

“It’s just you,
Being you,
Unapologetically.”

So smile.
