Be you


"Filter" a word used to hide,

a word used to cover things up.

Filters don't show how you look inside.

They muffle screams,

and shatter dreams.

Making it hard to decide,

who you truly are.

I say it's time to show the real you.

Let yourself be true.

Beauty goes farther than the filter.
