No Filter

by retweety4

I am no filter..

no selfie angle

or color addition

can express my "no filter"

I am reserved,

yet outgoing.

I am a people person,

without any ignorance showing.

I am average,

yet unlike no other.

I am timid,

yet aggressive.

My profile picture may show this,

but a conversation with me will show that.

my generation needs to take it back..

to when there were no filters.

I am unique,

and empowering.

I smile with no regrets,

and hold the biggest problems yet.

I am passionate,

yet lack confidence.

I am outspoken,

yet I hold my tongue.

I am the kid with braces,

Whose words sound deep without an edit.

The one who has prefers no filter,

so I can show how my life goes.

I am an old camera,

having to shake the picture for color.

With the bright flash and rod.

The one with no filter option, oh how my peers would find that odd.

I dance and sing,

and scream when no one can hear.

Behind the Instagram picture,

I am no filter, and wish to disappear.

With a filter you portray a fake image,

of someone you wish to be.

With no filter,

you show who you are indeed.

I am different,

but also one in the same.

I live with no filter,

and I cannot be changed.
