I Woke Up/ I Worked

I woke up like this.

Natural.

No makeup.

 

I worked for this.

Curls.

Products and oil.

 

I threw this on.

Clothes.

Skinny jeans and a hoodie.

 

I took time on this.

Homework.

Not the night before, but days in advance.

 

I woke up like this.

Sarcastic.

With lots to say and no way of saying it.

 

I worked for this.

Confidence.

What little there is and what soon there will be a lot of.

 

I wish to be someone else all the time,

But why?

 

Maybe all that I'm not is all I need to not be.

Maybe all that I am is all I need to be.

 

Strong with my weaknesses.

Flawless in my flaws.

 

I like the sound of that...

 

FLAWLESS
