Unfiltered

Unfiltered

You want me unfiltered? You got it.  

Plastering on a closed smile, as much as it needs fixing open.  

The fact is, I can’t afford that Hollywood grin with two new front teeth.  

Paying for every appointment, week by week, or month by month.  

It’ll be a lot from the jump.  

My mind’s a swirl of emotions,  

Feeling tired beyond comprehension, I’m not joking.  

I don’t know what this poem is,  

Except unapologetically me.
