Filter

The society that we live in

is always shouting at you to give in

If you give in, it's because you're living in

a world that tells you you're limited.

 

We can't take a picture and be confident

The filter's added for more compliments

Always trying to impress others

because we're born and raised to be cautious.

 

Our young girls are growing up

Starving themselves and throwing up.

Our young boys are getting big

only learning to act like a pig.

Because we tell them to change who they are

when we should really be encouraging young stars.

If I was told I was beautiful too,

then I wouldn't need a filter like you.
