Without a filter
Would anyone recognise
Without the words not of mine
Would anyone listen
Without a cover up
I will be
Insecure
Afraid
Cautioned
Paranoid
The cover of a filter is like
Shades for my eyes
Make up for my face
Money in my hands
It leaves me feeling
Powerful
Confident
Secure
I don't want to do without
Because the minute the cover up is gone
The truth is left the be criticised
And insecurities are judged
