Show them whats beneath the filter
as girls, we use many different kinds of filters
makeup, to hide the dark circles under our eyes from a lack of sleep,
acting like a bitch, so people don't bother to get to really know us,
put filters on pictures, to make our lives look glamorous,
we get so caught up in our filters
we lose sight of reality,
the reality that our dark circles were caused by crying all night
because he posted a picture with another girl,
the reality that we are not bitches
we just act like it
because last time we let someone in, we got hurt,
the reality that we really don't need filters
because we are beautiful just the way we are,
no matter what the world says,
no matter who tries to tear us down,
no matter who breaks our heat.
take off the filter,
show the real you.
