Filter is a Falling Shelter

              

Double-tap to like

Like the filter or the person it hides

Hides the flaws and imperfections

Perfect imperfections

 

Flawless creature but with weaknesses

Weakness is strength

Weakness admitted is confidence

Confidence is pride

 

Scared of my reflection

This mirror mocks me

So I crack it in half

Thought I was a pacifist, But I passed a fist

 

Good grades but never strait a’s

Talented, but not talented enough

Enough is enough

I do this everyday

 

I am my own worst enemy

My biggest critic

Even though I would never admit it,

Destiny is not that bad of a game

 

I’m full of shame, but from what

It’s just the way I’m feeling

That picture says a thousand words

But the filter changes the meaning.
