Dear photographer,

I asked for my pictures -not AI portraits of me.

Photoshoot pictures be looking like I went for a plastic surgery

I can no longer see the "flawsome" me

First all,why is my skin all smooth like a new babe?

My eye bags and dark circles have miraculously gone in.

I thought I had a Nubian shaped nose.

Why does it look so slim like the imaginary line between the North Pole and the South Pole.

I thought my lips were chaffed,I did not know you could oil them.

It looks like I had cheiloplasty.

I never whitened my teeth; my teeth looks so clean as if it has never been used.

My smile was real yet it looks so fake now.

Where are my dark knuckles?

Haba! I am not this fair now!

Those extra inches and shaping you did to my hips makes me look like a Barbie doll.

I did not ask you to perform a BBL surgery on me, I asked you to take my picture.

My dark spots from bruises of life are not visible.

You've edited a new me out of me.

I don't know this me.

I am flawful yet beautiful

My defects make me who I am and I'm not ashamed of them.

And right, yes!

You don't need to pose me as a human for objectification.

You want to get those likes and accolades,you can do that by capturing the real me

I am a work of art myself!

So the next time you take my pictures with your digital camera,do not be tempted to make a new me.
