Filters show the insecurities of those who want to hide their flaws, change their reality.
Stop, the image in the mirror will crash
Though, these weights may be lifted with the pluck of each fake eyelash
I'll remove this lipstick, because it encloses my smile
There's a mask that i wear,
With colors, and shapes,
Its packed on my skin,
Like glue and tape.
My hair is like plastic,
it sticks to my head,
with all of that hairspray,
Sometimes I wish I could erase all the things I've done wrong
I wish that I could erase the past I've come from
There is a reason people use filters,
For we don’t like how we are defined to be.
Something is crooked or misshaped
That we don’t wish others to see.
If I were to stand before you bare
