***Flawless

Did I wake up like this?

Did I work hard for this?

I did both.

 

Waking up,

the first task of the day.

Motivating myself

day in 

day out.

 

Working hard,

the occupancy of the beholder.

Busy lives are tangled

between the

busy streets

and flashing cars.

 

No time to get ready,

but looking in the mirror

telling myself

"I look good"

 

Bags under my eyes

show the signs

sleep deprivation 

from the hard work.

 

I did wake up like this.

I did work hard for this.
