Who is "me?"
#nofilter is a hashtag
that seems to be used as a dearth.
It is not the filter on a simple “selfie”
that can define a true person’s worth.
I am something of bendable,
unbreakable matter.
A character that truly
nothing can shatter.
A catholic school student
for all of my life,
something that the thought of
brings me absolutely no strife.
It shaped my person
and all that I have done,
and an excellent college education
is part of one of the things I have won.
Apart from the academics,
I learned valuable lessons too.
I was taught how to treat people
and give them their right due.
Dance is a passion
I have had since I was a little girl.
I had valued every second
as if it was a precious pearl.
Although not academic,
my studio had taught me a lot.
Those teachers taught me more
than just my dance and my spot.
They guided me
to be my very best.
And only when I would be ready,
I could fly from the nest.
I have no filter,
I act as I see fit.
And my past experiences
have taught me to never quit.
