#LIES


We appear as our best

We try to out do the rest

Looking good 

Hashtags of #flawless #nofilter #YOLO

But truely- 

There is a filter 

 

We have to compete

Trying to look our best

Seeing others perfect world 

Judging them 

 

But it isnt perfect in real life

They are broken

Putting on a front

Trying harder than anyone

To look their best

To get attention

To appear as if they have everything together

 

 

It is all a LIE 

We are not perfect

The internet does not show our life

We try to hide behond the screen

Acting as if no one knows the truth

 

 

The RUMORS start

Everyone knows who you truely are 

Your SECRETS are out 

They GOSSIP

It spreads 

And suddenly you cannot hide behind the screen 

You cannot hide behind the LIES 

Your life is REAL
