thinking about what to write
while filtering thoughts of my mind,
why are we so conscious of what to speak
or how to present ourselves
out of the mirror world,
its easy to say, 'be yourself'
but tell me, are you?
or just tell yourself,
are you yourself, with
and without people around?
or start swiping left
the words you feel unfit
but are they?
is it really hard or
its just mind making it so?
