Woke Up


I woke up like this

Different

I woke up like this

Inspired

Yea I am tired, drained, from working 9-5

From study hall to in the hall studying

Trying to keep a 4.0

But I woke up like this

I woke up like this

Flawless

Although I was imperfect

I was motivated to succeed

Since Jeremiah 29:11 says "I know the plans He has for me " 

I look past my flaws because I had younger sisters

I looked past my flaws because I had a destination

I looked past my flaws because through meditation

Moments of hyperventilation

I woke up

And like this 

As I am before you

I claim to be flawless 

I aspire to succeed to where all flaws be covered with success

It is a current dream

Soon to be a reality

Until then

I wake up like this

Flawless
