In my years as a model, I've come to use Instagram as a platform for showcasing my work and networing. It has been a great platform for so many reasons that I'm sure the world is awear of. (visit me: @kesgun www.instagram.com/kesgun . I also have a feed of my instagram pictures on my on my main page.) It also leaves room for imagination...
A picture paints a thousand words. It's what I love about pictures. They can tell a story, set off a memory, inspire, amaze, create a mood, and set the bar. To capture this, I use the images I post to create thoughtful captions that have been inspired by, or relate to the picture that it's posted alongside. The mood and pace of the captions i create depend on the picture, a meaning relating in some personal way to myself, or the genre of the picture posted. Most of the time I aim to inspire, uplift and encourage, and try to rhym as I go to create a poem, sometimes using phrases or lyrics to songs that may relate in some way.
Sinse I started I have had alot of feedback and it's nice to see people taking the time to read and appeciate them. So for todays blog I want to share with you the captions I have made so far.
See if you can put the caption to the picture without reading it below the picture to find out, and let me know what you think.
(Do NOT steal the work that I have put into creating and making these captions, this is my own creative work that I have spent alot of time and effort into creating and making something that means alot to the work that I have produced. Thank you.)
When it comes to style, Make it worth their while, Make them turn and smile. Be the one that dares the look, Be the one that draws the hook, Be the one that's in the book. In the world that never sleeps In the world where nothing keeps Be the one that they admire, Be the one that they aspire.
💫Style is for breaking, There is no point in faking. Only be true, it's all good for you. Let there be compassion, We all have our own fashion. For the more we conform, The less we perform.💫
We all live our own seperate lives,
We do what we need to survive.
We all live along different shores,
We like to say what is yours.
We all speak in our different tongues,
We learnt it all from our mums.
We all seek for that makes us happy,
We don't like it when we all grow saggy.
We all like it soft when we sleep,
We don't like it when made from concrete.
We live and we die,
We sing and we sigh.
We all look for the one or another,
Why can't we look out for each other

🕶Walk as though a band, And we shall make a stand. Together we are stronger, Through the songs that seem much longer. It's time to play your part, Through your style that's made of art. Together we are one. It's time to sing your song.🕶
♨️Soul as smooth as leather, Composure styled and pure. Hair as sweet as heather, Class made with allure.♨️
♟Stand out in the dark, Be the one who lights the spark. It's not all black and white, When it's time to stand and fight. Though the game is won through patients, The time is of the essence. It's how you place your pieces, That brings upon your presence.♟
🔥At the beginning, You don't know if you're winning, While you're living there clutching and clinging. While you travel in fear, remember what's dear, And keep those dreams you have near. One day it will pay and then you will say, I remember that day.🌲
🕯Chained to the bottle of my nightmares roar. Strained to the bottom of my last clutched straw. Stripped of the presence of my only hope. Don't believe what they tell you in your Horoscope. Will you come to save me from this nightly glare? Or will I have to sit here to stop and stare?🕯
🐾What to say, or what to do, Sometimes we have no clue. If actions speak louder than words, He will get what he deserves. Sometimes it just takes us to listen, Before we will all start to glisten. Care and be cared, We all can get scared, The trick is what we have shared. The world is our oyster, Do not disappoint her.🐾
👀The first few seconds Make the first impressions. Within your expressions, Are all of your obsessions. Conceal what you reveal, Control the steering wheel, And you shall have appeal👀
🔥Bound by our deception, We look for our perfection. While you look for what we seek, It slowly makes you weak. It's all down to perception, Even with no reception. Strive and do more than survive, And we will make a big surprise.🔥
🎨Be the one to bring the colour Make the whole world feel much fuller Fill the frown with tears of joy Be the boy that they enjoy🎨
🎩Welcome come into a life that hurts us. Welcome come and take that seat, it's courteous. Smile and wave, turn, smile and wave, turn. What you gunna do cos the show must go on Welcome if you wanna have a freak show. Welcome we can give em all a peep show. You wana see crazy, we can show them. The world is on a stage, just like a circus🎪
🔥Power is the strength to hold on, when all seems gone. Passion is the fire, that burns with our desire. Success is the reward, For all the times you scored. For when they all applaud, That's when you feel adored. But strength is the power, To rise when you would cower, see past the final hour.💪
🔥Wood has memory, Style is contemporary. Class has fire, For all who Desire. When you sit there and yearn, It makes for concern. Why sit when you can can lay, We're all here for display.🌲
🐚Blindfold Take me away to a beach, Where we walk along on the sands of bleach. Is it supposed to be the this hot all summer long? I could just sit here staring as I sing along. Once a footprint is left, the journey's begun, Do you believe what they say, when you look at the sun We watched the sun go down as we're walking. I'd spend the rest of my life just standing here talking. Put you're ear to this shell, Do you hear the sea aswell? I'll take my blindfold off, But it never wears off. So here I am, next to you The sky's more blue Now that I've found you.🐚
🌤Walk in the sunshine, See that things look so fine. When day seems like night, We all put up a fight. Weather we walk, or stay in the shade, The shadows, they move and they fade. The summer may bring some hayfever, But don't let that be a deceiver. We all look away from the sun, But what is summer without any fun.🌤
⏺🌋The mould is for breaking It's there for your taking. So give it a shake, And make the earth quake. The world is a circle, So why be a square.🌋⏺
🍹When in the sunshine Its time to define, and feel devine. Put it all in the past, nothing really lasts. The world is too vast.🍹
🍸He who is calm, Takes it all with no qualm. His class will surpass While he stirs round his glass. He has style, He has smile, He has made it worth while. He's the king of his castle, And lives by example.🍸
🧚🏼♂️Why sit and endure, When you can explore You'll find so much more When you're out of the door. There's magic, its hiding, It's so bright it's blinding. In time you will see, So come follow me.🧚🏼♂️
✂️💈Make em stare Let em glare Make em look at your hair. Get it styled Make it wild Get it let looking less mild.💈✂️
👀Keep your eyes across your shoulder But keep it as a smoulder. Creeping as you wonder What hides behind and under. One step forward, and two looks back, By all means feel at home, but don't start to unpack. Steady as you go, we all go with the flow. But once you make a blunder, It starts to laugh and chunder. Don't let it stop your thunder.👀
🌎🍃Stuck on what you should say. Not sure which game is in play. Remember that you are the banker, And that there is no need to thank her. The game is just what you choose, Decide if you'll win or you'll Lose.🍃🌍
🚪While hiding behind the curtain You will never know for certain, What there might be to see. One day you'll agree, That keeping low key Will only make things worsen🚪
🕶What you see is what you get And what you get is what you give. No time to miss a goal Cos your heart's without a soul. The summer is here So get out your gear. If you are unable Don't hide under the table, you will get your time, Cos the sun's about to shine.🕶
♨️There once was a man, who didn't believe in can. It couldn't happen to fast, he always looked to the past. Sweating in pain, With someone to blame. It was always the same. There once came a man, Who stuck his shoe as he ran. Take a fall and you'll stumble, But why would you grumble. Catch yourself as you fall, And pull up a stall, This world's not so small.♨️
🌧When it feels all full of doom, Even when it still is June, Give it all a big full moon. When you feel all full of power, Make it last the whole one hour, Stand up tall when in the shower. Take it all within your stride, It's all about what's been implied, Make it strong and full of pride.🌈
🛍Fashion is a gift wrap for the present that's inside. In not so many words it's the best way to describe. Reflect it from your keen side, And show them all your mean side. Because fashion is the best way, to keep them in your stride🛍
🚿Wash away all of today And make it no longer replay. Rejuvenate , Recuperate, And begin with a new cabaret.🚿
👤Believe and you'll see, There is more to me. The shell which you seek, Does more as you speak. If you're hollow tomorrow Today was all sorrow. Look deeper than dust There's more than just rust. Come along, sing this song, We will all get along. The shell which you seek, Is more than just bleak.👥
👁I shut my eyes and the world is dead, I realise nothing more can be said. I raise my eyes, and the world has meaning, For this is how you see its gleaming. The world is how you see it And how you see it, is how you look👁
🎺Be the strength that you seek, When you're feeling most weak. When you're feeling most sour, This time is our hour. The strength is inside you, Don't let things divide you. Be brave and be strong, This is where we belong.🎺

til I found you Lived a wasteful life in a hateful city The world's no love just pain and pity til I found you,
🧡 So let's take a walk and get lost Let's take a chance on finding us I wanna see the world with you Every step feels so brand new It's hard to jump with no net But I've jumped and got no regret My co-pilot yeah that's right Now I can just enjoy the ride 🧡
🎢 Life is a journey not a destination. The road will twist and turn but I know that I am in good hands I've never been a passenger no But we'll see more without a map 🌍
☘God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young It's hunting season and the lambs are on the run Searching for meaning But are we all lost stars,
👻The roses have wilted, The violets are dead, The demons run circles, Round and round in my head. Welcome to my nightmare,
🎃 She'll break a promise as a matter of course Because she thinks it's fun to have no remorse She gets what she wants and walks away And she doesn't give a f*ck what you might say Because it cuts her up like Irish mortar Mother's pride is what we taught her Soiled and petty as we happily taunt her Friend and enemy, we're all to blame 🎃
Leonardo DaVinci
☘Someone who's looking back doesn't look forward in the direction they're heading. The greatest adventure is what lies ahead.☘
👑Have faith in your dreams and someday Your rainbow will come smiling through No matter how your heart is grieving If you keep on believing The dream that you wish will come true👑
🕯I'm not ashamed of the things that I dream I find myself flirting with the verge of obscene Into the unknown, I will be bold I'm going to places I can be out of control🕯
🎙'We're not so different you and me, 'Cause we both share our share of obscenities, And everybody's got some freaky tendencies, Hidden or admitted, 'cause we all got needs Let's talk about biology, Make believe your next to me, Phonography, phonography, Talk that sexy talk to me, Better make sure that the line is clean, Keep it confidential, you and me. Phonography, phonography, Dirty talking, call it phonography (hey)'🎶
Baby, you're so unusual Didn't anyone tell you you're s'posed to Break my heart, I expect you to So why haven't you?.. .
'Yea, two, three Right, two, three Shut your mouth Stick your ass out for me March, two, three Two, three Who told you You're allowed to think?!'

When we are caught in the fire At the point of no return, we will walk through the fire and let it burn.
