No filter

Location

Did you know that I am the one who waits at the back by choice, who picks up the slack from everyone else, whos waiting for a change but afraid to speak up? You didn't because of the filter. 

Did you know that I am the one who wants to answer all of the questions, who knows them without guessing, who has no friends for reminiscence? You didn't because of the filter.

Did you know that I am the one who waits always alone, who always sits at home with no where to go, who can't pick up the phone because no one would ever call? You didn't because of the filter.

Did you know that I am the one cheesing behind the camera in the picture that you think is so beautiful, but you'd never know whats behind the music because there are multiple filters effortlessly blocking the shame and hiding the pain and making a different name for myself . I am the one that is actually shy, but dresses so cool and so weird as they say. I am a cheerleader that refuses to cheer alone because everyone would laugh and make fun of my tall posture and curvy body that i am afraid to be proud of. Well, this is my reality, without the filter. No filter at all.
