Unfiltered

We want people to like us so we do things that are not like us

A façade a front is what we put up

Broken by reject we reject our true identity

And instead adopt a figment of what we call reality

When in reality we are not anything we assume ourselves to be

We label ourselves as something so ignorant, temporary, and worthless

That we are drawn into a vortex a vortex of false identity unable to break free

Sometimes I feel like a fool a complete and utter fool and I wonder who has tricked

Myself repeatedly but the finger only points to me

My traits betray me and instead of being trustful I am gullible I give everyone more credit than they deserve

Strangers on the street have hearts of gold

The boy that broke my heart has full access passes

To the synapses in my brain that tells my heart to break

I am a people pleaser; raw and uncut I want everyone to love me

No matter what I have to give up

My morals, my opinions, myself; they’re all lost

But with my filter that protects me, this is the cost.
