With No Filter

No filter
Through the lenses of my peers
I stand without fear.
For I know this is truely me
and all I may be.
No filter
From my black curly hair
to the tips of my toes
for all you that don't know
I am what I can be.
With no filter I take nothing lightly.
Oppression, depression, none may strike fear
into me.
For I have lived through it all.
Form the time I was little,
little feet pitter across the floor,
My momma work her tail off to give me the better more.
With no filter I grew up socially awkward never seeing the light of day,
always seeming to hide from the kids my age.
I couldn't stand up to bullies,
inferior, stupid, black, you name it I've lived through it all.
With no filter, I walked the roads of high school, building trusts along the way,
some which have frayed,
others who have stayed
to the end.
With no filter
I can't stand bullies anymore,
I stop it at the source.
With no filter
I am a jock with a heart for those who feel lesser
Who helps them stand to the oppressor.
With no filter
I work to help mom and dad
washing dishes to earn my grad,
It really isn't that bad.
With no filter I try
to keep up in this crazy world
full of boys and girls
trying to find who they are
looking both near and far.
With no filter
I am what I present.
No words can describe who I am.
You just have to meet me.
