Broken Mirrors

Location

Ive always used a filter so that others can percive me the way 

I want them to.

Trying to find the perfect fit and making sure nothing was flawed.

Going with the crowd and rarely choosing the one I prefer. 

Something is awry when you dispise to look at yourself,

When you feel alone in a packed room.

Look into my eyes

Tell me what you see

Nothing?

Then you know most of me.

There is no point if your captions are deep but youre as shallow as a puddle.

And a fliter cant define you. 

There is no beauty standard.

Because like my father would always tell me,

Those who mind dont matter, 

And those who matter dont mind.

So go ahead,

Choose your own fliter.
