Reality Filter - Employed To Serve

I’m selling a lie

Appearances are everything

In my mind I’m a far cry behind

But I’ll keep portraying this false identity

Things aren’t always as they seem

When they are seen through the filter

This picture perfect life

Free of all imperfections

Everyone is selling themselves

Everyone is selling themselves short

I judge myself by others success

I rate my life second to yours

I judge myself by others success

I rate my life second to yours

Nothing seems to be good enough

Nothing fills the hole

Always concerned on what I am lacking

Forever failing to live in this moment

Existence spent

Wallowing as life passes me by

I struggle to keep my feet flat on the ground

My head space is defying the earth’s gravity

Reality filter

A lifetime spent failing to live in this moment

In this moment

A lifetime spent failing to live
