Unfiltered: The Real Me - Rachna Awana (India)

 


UNFILTERED: THE REAL ME

-         Rachna Awana (India)

I wore a mask, an adopted face

To fit the mold, to claim my place

But scars revealed, the paint would fade

And left me lost in shade's shade

 

There isn't any path ahead

There isn't any voice instead

Which can become my guide

Then I will reveal all my sides

 

But time wore down it's shattered frame

I know it's Nature's magical game

No path ahead , no voice to guide

Just echoes of the self I'd hide

 

The filters glow, the polished lie

A world of likes that glorify

But in the echo, voices blend

And truths distort , mirrors end

Oh! this is the MODERN TREND

 

I destroyed the screen, let silence fall

And heard my voice, now released by all

No filter now, no chamber's hold

Just me, UNFILTERED , BRAVE AND BOLD.
