The BEAUTIFUL Me


People want me to work hard

People expect me to be a Genius

It's all Math and Science

People expect me to be a Model

It's all make-up and hair fixed right

I'm a people pleaser so they get what they want

What they don't know is, the scenes behind the act

I work hard

I expect me to be Creative

It's all Singing and Acting

I expect me to be Me

It's all a clean face and 'let your hair down'

I'm not a me pleaser, so they don't get what they need

They don't get the real BEAUTIFUL me
