My life without filter

Location

When you are on social media,

You usually see the fun in peoples lives,

Or the beauty of it.

You never really know who a person is without filter

Nowadays, people are constantly insecure.

But with filter, it shows how "pretty" one is.

Well, I am just a regular girl,

Who wants to enhance her photos.

Filters changes perspective of things.

Like everyone else, I take selfies,

And then I use filters and crop my pictures

My photos aren't as good as my pictures with filter.

Filters, in a way, gives me relief that I look decent in a picture.

My usual life is constantly church, dance, and school.

Academically, I do very well.

I believe that words with filters,

really means that you can speak without restrains

So, my words without filters can be powerful.

Some people think I may have an amazing life,

But in reality, I face difficulties just like everyone else.

I just smile constantly to make others believe I'm okay.

I am constanly stressed and tired.

Maybe, with filters on instagram,

It can be another reminder to everyone,

That I am a generally happy person.

Filters don't show who a person is.

If you stop using filters, maybe you can show your real personality.
