Awkward Trophy Wife


The one thing in this world that I am powerless without,

Is my education, without a shadow of a doubt.

Now just me a moment cause, I don't want to preach,

But when I tell you why, you'll be begging me to "Preach."

See, coming up not looking like a supermodel was a struggle alone,

So, I curled up with a good book instead of voices on the phone.

I didn't have much confidence growing up, I was shy and awkward.

But when they announced the highest GPA, I was the only one walking forward.

So, thank you education because throughout life,

You've taught me how to avoid being an awkward supermodel trophy wife.
