one filter smooths the wrinkles another adds luster to the dull skin another transforms bewildered to gorgeous glistening anime eyes inside so many filters i'm a different person i'm prettier hence more confident as the filters at a click and tap wash away the embarrassing bags sags grooves and blemishes i know what the filters make of me isn't real i know the real me the one underneath the filters still needs much real improvement of course i know the real me is that one that needs improving but it gets confusing so confusing what the rest of you are unfiltered it's confusing thankfully confusing not just for me but everyone that way we don't feel so anxious so foolish from being so confused knowing everyone else is just as confused behind their filters too sometimes i recognize the real raw me reflected on the screen of the device that applies all these filters i never like what i see what i know i am in the raw reflection of the screen since it never looks any better than the raw reflection from before i know that raw reflection is me it's what i am i'm that self-aware but i don't like it it keeps getting worse and worse with age thankfully there's always another filter to apply inside the device that gave me the reflection maybe i should confront the raw me reflected in the glass with more than filters well maybe next time maybe instead of shaking hands with the raw me i should confront it from time to time really get to know it beyond a handshake a salutation and a courteous smile maybe next time cause for now the filters are at my fingertips giving me confidence making me feel better making all of us feel better and the better we feel obviously the better we are regardless how much the feeling directly compounds the delusion and distance between the raw and the filtered me
