Living life behind the disguise

of an eternal #realityfilter

Portraying a face as black and white

Which hide the true colors of myself

But behind the eyes of misleading perception

Is a person who dreams of forgetting perfection

Which are kept in secret, sacred places

Like my forsaken, solitary shoebox

Of picture-perfect memories

That refuse to be covered with

#distortingfilters

This is the real me
