How Many Selfies

A Short and Reflective Poem

By Sarah ScottPublished 9 years ago • 1 min read

How many selfies am I allowed to post,

before I come off as "self obsessed"?

How proud is too proud?

You can be great,

just not the best.

Confidence is attractive!

As long as you keep it passive.

Show off your skills and passions,

in a humble, silent fashion.

Do I fit in? Or do I stand out?

Are they one in the same?

How can I be an individual,

when I can't feel myself without feeling shame?

Be yourself and be free!

Only then will you succeed.

To love yourself is all you need,

just not too much,

it's a fickle balance indeed.

So, how many selfies can I post?

No more than five, and try not to boast.
