BEHIND THE FILTER

In virtual veils, we hide our face A digital disguise, a temporary grace We swap our features, change our name And pretend to be, a different claim But behind the filter, we're still the same With flaws and fears, and a heart that's tamed We search for validation, in a virtual crowd But forget the beauty, that's unbound In augmented reality, we lose our way And chase the likes, that fade with each new day We forget to love, the face we're in And sacrifice our truth, for a digital skin So let's take off the mask, and show our real face Embrace our imperfections, and find our own pace Let's connect on a deeper level, and break the digital chains And find our true selves, beyond the authentic selves and connect with others on a deeper level, beyond the snapchat frames.
