The young girl with no filter to cover

Behind the filtered selfies,

and the pictures taken with her phone angled, 

is a young girl who's life seems to be a little tangled.

Whether its studying for finals or having to clean up her mess,

She tries her best to hide her every bit of stress.

"Smile" they say, it'll take away the pain.

and so thats what she does to remain strong in this game.

Life; thats what that game is.
 
The one she plays everyday while trying to tame her frizz
 
Her frizzy hair that the filters dont cover,
 
Is one thing she happens to take after her mother.
 
And behind all the makeup and smiles,
 
Is a young girl who plans to be someone successful in a little while.
