No Make-up, No Filter

Why do girls spend sixty minutes on their make-up when they can spend five Make-up doesn't define who you are Your words and your actions Those define you because those words mean a million more Make-up is only a filter for the eyes to see But make-up only hides who you are on the outside It's the inside that most people need to see It's what you do that can change lives Not what you look like It's the encouraging words you say before you leave for college not the clothes you bring with you These things are the differences between a girl and a woman But a girl is not wrong for using make-up because she doesn't know She doesn't know that make-up won't get her the life she plans to live Yes, I enjoy make-up but I won't put a filter on who I am as a person Because me without a filter is me without boundaries I'm a bald eagle that never stops flying It's who I am and I'm not afraid to embrace it Embrace that one day in the future, I will look back and say I'm a graduate college student I'm a special education teacher I'm a friend, daughter, sister, niece, cousin But most of all I will say I'm me I am Brittany Lovegren and without a filter, I can change the world.
