Bleed Orange

filter this
filter that
too bad i dont have
a filter for my mouth
because my mother says
i need one.
edit this
edit that
too bad my sexuality
cant be edited 
because those homophobes 
say i could use it. 
use this
use that
too bad my personality
cant take on plastic surgery
because the adults say
it could help me.
take this 
take that
too bad those medications
cant be swallowed
because those doctors 
say they can fix me.
but too bad i cant be fixed
because i am who i am
and that is proud. 
that smile on my face
in the selfie i just took,
is in no way, shape,
or form, fake.
i am 100% concentrate
with no pulp.
drink me down
if you dare
but squeezing me 
will never change 
who i am.
