Sad, Isn't it?


I'll never truly be perfect but, that doesn't stop me from trying.

I'll never see myself how I should, but that doesn't stop people from talking

The real me without filters, the real me without a mask

Is probably a monster, without much caring for the world

I don't feel empathy for those poor people starving

I don't care about the enviroment because soon I'll be leaving

The fun fact about life, anyones at that, is that eventually we'll all be gone.

So to be honest using a filter for anything, seems kind of strange.

To hide a part of yourself just so others will like you

To pretend to be someone you are not.

It just seems worthless and pretty much idiotic.

But we do it anyways

because

who wants to be

with a monster?
