A look in the mirror
I feel so bare
Without my makeup
Without my filters
To hide my emotions
To show me I’m pretty too
“you are pretty”, my mouth says
But my heart refuses to repeat after it
I hate everything I see
But thank God I have something at least
My filters make me feel safe
They hide my true self from being seen
But when I have to put my phone down
And walk without them
That’s when I realized its all not real
And so i hide in silence
Too bad my filters can’t hide me here too
