Where am I?
I look at my pictures...
This is not me.
This is not me.
This is not me.
Be honest...
Where am I?
Where is the gap between my teeth?
I thought there were bags beneath my eyes...
Am I really that small?
Where am I?
There's no longer a pimple on my cheek!
That's such a fake smile!
My eyes are brown not hazel!
WHERE AM I?
This is not me.
This is not me.
This...Is. Not. Fucking. me.
Be honest...
Am I losing it?
My skin is NOT that light!
My lips are NOT that pink!
My dimples are NOT that deep!
Dear God...please
...Where am I?
I am no supermodel
No Barbie doll
And I accept that...
I accept that...right?
Then why am I filtered?
Why can I not find myself?
Why do I not recognize myself in a picture of me taken by me?!
Huh?
Because...I am filtered.
like the words I say...
I am filtered.
like the pain I feel...
I am filtered.
like the me I want to be...
I am filtered.
That is why I cannot find myself...
Because this is not me.
And that is not me.
And this is not me.
So let's be honest...
Where am I?
I couldn't tell ya...
I am only filtered.
