I didn't "wake up like this"

All I want to be Is the girl on a magazine,

But she isn’t real.

All I want to be

Is that girl all the boys see,

But I know her body is that way naturally.

I don’t hate me

But I want to change me.

So I have to work.

Work out.

Work hard.

Work long.

Work more.

One more.

More weight.

More speed.

Say no.

No excuses.

No days off.

I am not the girl

who “woke up like this.”

But I don’t want to be.

I like being the girl who

Woke up to work for this

FLAWLESS.
