#Nofilter


 

I look all around and all I see are filters

The world around us is being filtered everyday

 A world where changing how you look is the norm

Who you are and how you look can be changed by a click of a button

 

Who am I without a filter?

What is the world without a filter?

I am the world without a filter.

 

The world is beautiful

Why change the way the world looks

It is already beautiful with all its flaws and wonders

I am beautiful with all my flaws

 

It is hard to see the world as beautiful in a filter

A filter is the fake side to things

Turn your phone this way

Just add some more makeup

Adding a filter will fix it

 

Why filter myself

It is not me

I am me when I am outside playing in the sand and dirt

A smile on my face

No cares In the world or phone in my hand

No filter to take away the real me
