Unfiltered Life

In between the fake smiles of life

Lies a world left unromanticized.

Thy happiness is an altered parody,

Making the case for an unfiltered life.

When the world has put on the mask

With two versions of themselves,

I affirm myself with the only soul I have,

For now, it's time to unfilter our lives.

Ease up on the loads on the shoulder,

For now is the time for self-rule.

Like a wild forest left silent,

It's time for introspection.

Fantasies make one feel happy,

For they do not require much thought.

Dreams are sweeter until one wakes up.

But keeping the ball running

Is the ultimate joyful lesson from life.
