#IWokeUpLikeThis

I wake up like this

Every morning

No makeup, no hairspray

Blank canvas and yawning 

 

I wake up like this

Freckles showing

Long bare eyelashes

Smiling and glowing

 

I wake up like this

Then hide true beauty 

Harsh chemicals and paints

Report for duty 

 

I wake up like this

The me they don't know 

Only a few know me

Behind the filters, all for show

 

I wake up like this

Beautiful and proud

I don't need makeup and filters

I'll scream it aloud
