hide no more

Hastag no filter

 yet your face looks far from NORMAL.

When you were called out on it

you said “I wanted to look formal”.

 

Hastag SLUMBER,

the bae caught me sleeping.

Yet that number two filter

Was really what you were meaning. 

 

Hastag fav filter 

its name is CREMA (or cream).

And yet your skin is already as white

as a Starbucks vanilla bean.

 

Hastag LUDWIG

a word you don't even know 

and yet it quickly became your fav

because it gave you that Covergirl glow

 

Hastag PERPETUA

the filter that opposes YOLO.

And yet the only people who know it’s real meaning

Are the people of Idaho.

 

Hastag I'm sorry

that you don’t know you’re a ten

and that no MAYFAIR 

is going to actually make you feel thin.

 

Hastag instead of just scrolling

RISE to the occasion

Use your talents

Go and be amazing

 

Hastag you're an X-PRO

because you live in a filter 

and no one would ever know

how far you are from bitter.

 

Hastag, and yet I weep

for the WILLOW that had to die

so that your black and white filter

could live on for life.

 

Hastag LO-FI,

maybe all that you see

but I promise that under these filters

you are high quality.

 

Hastag ERALYBIRD in the mornings

and sleepless in Seattle at night

your heart is like an INKWELL 

and your filters keep you bright.

 

Hastag hear this

even without the camara or the gram

My favorite caption of you is:

Hastag I know who I am.
