No Filter

 
When you were little
You’d express yourself freely without caring what anyone thought
You spoke from the heart and how you truly felt
But as you grew older
You discovered your filters
And how they are imposed on by society
Now, some, worry about what others think

But along with growing a conscience
And understanding the need for decorum
Some of us have sank into an introverted state of mind
I for one, I’m guilty of this
And somehow imprisoned myself in a pit of loneliness and despair

Composing, on the other hand
Enables part of us
A child like enthusiasm to be open and free
To be creative
To use our imagination
To explore worlds we never thought we could do before
And if writing
With no filter
Allows us to be free
Imagine how much happiness we could attain
When being respectful and honest
