Filtered Reflection
I look at the mirror,
And see a flaw- an error
I turn away from that reflection
And turn my phone's beauty mode on.
I lock myself in the room,
Yet I feel seen by my phone.
I love the screen rays-soothing blue,
I feel myself almost true.
I like, I share, I half-belong,
Voices there feel warm and known,
You say all of it is fake
Yet it's the only shelter I can take.
You say this isn’t reality,
Yet the outer world feels like calamity
I love to live in this shade
In the truths which I have made
