#NoFilter


#NoFilter

Camera tilts, filter change

Clear walls, new photo stage

Makeup, powder

Pale, clean background

Why use these things when I know I'm beautiful?

Nail polish, clean cuticles

I don't need that stuff

I rather show my pale skin than fake tan

Different angle, beauty strangles

Fake beauty is not me

Brown eyes, glasses, all I use to see

No filter equals to smooth roars

From waters splashing with blue skies

Camera color brings a new dangerous ring

Different sound, tough tone

Pounds and shouts 

With filters, I see corrected eyes, corrected skin

Without filters, I see a real person, soul, emotion

That is real, not full of lies

Words splash around like dirty messes

When I use filter, portraits are plastered

Without filters, I can paint a beautiful picture

Taking my time

My smile is my shine

I don't need a fake flash to capture my details

#NoFilter means that I express my face like a singer singing out in a show

Full of colors of the rainbow

Because I know my image is pretty

I don't need adjustments to change my beauty

Curls flowing from my head

I rather keep springs 

Short height

Full of might

I capture my flaws and keep them

Locked in a key instead

Of deleting multiple photos

Trying to figure out which one is good

I stand in this cold

I love my natural image

And makeup will just destroy 

#NoFilter is the way I go

Capturing every moment

Of my no filter change
