Raw Footage


 

Like an unfiltered photo I stand

Not as pretty or as likeable without my filters

Most people who claim they know me are unaware that I use them to hide

Others have been able to identify and see beyond the countless edits I’ve made

But most have not

 

It really doesn’t take much effort to do so if you look closely

So I am left to question why those who claim to love me don’t try

Can they not see it in my eyes that this is not who I truly am?
