No F*cking Filters

Interesting how there's no f*cking filters this time.

Filters block out all the dirt,

all the crude humor,

all the rawness of people and what they feel.

But it's not stopping me this time!

I like sex (like most other humans),

I like surviving,

and I love love.

Now, to most I'm crazy for only thinking of those things when thinking of my future.

I don't want a big fancy house,

I don't want a huge amount of money,

I honestly don't care for all that when I have someone who cares for me and we're thriving.

So that's how I am in terms of forward thinking.

Right now, I hate school

I hate having so many responsibilities,

I hate living with my parents.

Now, I'm really crazy for thinking that (to most people).

I think this way though because I'm a black youth in America tries to think differently from my parents.

I like sex because I believe it's a natural instinct to want to have sex,

I like surviving because I want to see what is out in the world,

I love love, only because I don't know how it feels to truly be loved.

Without a filter, I'm the most sexual person ever,

I'm the person that people go to for sexual advice.

Without a filter, I'm a girl with no eyelashes or eyebrows,

I'm one of the very small percent of people in the world who have Trichotillomania (a hair pulling mental disorder).

Without a filter, all I really try to do is make myself happy in any way that I can.

Without a filter, I'm a 5 foot 4 inch tall black girl

with no eyelashes or eyebrows,

with a meaningful tattoo on my back, a belly button piercing,

and discounted Ray Ban perscription glasses

just trying to find something more meaningful in life than money.
