#NoFilter
what do you see
when you look at me
our perspectives are completely divergent
because you see a girl
that laughs at the world
but behind the filters i'm someone different
i hate who i am and i wanna be better
so i lie with a smile in the darkest of weather
it says i'm alright
and i'm strong through it all
but i'm always preparing for another fight when i fall
a fight in my head,
a fight in my heart,
it may not be physical
but it tears me apart
i say i hate the world and all the shit that comes with it
but that isn't true
i just hate me in it.
no filter.
