Work

Location

I woke up like this!

Oh no honey this is work…

But you know what?... It is well worth

I wake up: Hair a mess

I wake up: Sleep in my eyes

I wake up: TIRED

But you know what? It is well worth

I fix my hair

I wash my eyes

I drink my coffee and to the my surprise

FLAWLESS!

Did I wake up like this? HEAVENS NO!

This was work, believe me it shows

Do I wake up Flawless? Lord No!

I work at this, not for him, her, he, she, it

I do this for me and that is it.

I put in the work so that everyone else will know I am Flawless

Flawless by hard work and oh baby it shows

Not cocky or stuck up or conceited or mean

I say that it shows because that’s what I mean

My hard work on me, the yoga ,the makeup, the clothes you see… are all a reflection of the inside of me

So for me to feel confident in my everyday interactions

I must wake up imperfect and work on my outer glow

I wake up: Groggy

I wake up: Uncoordinated

I wake up: On the wrong side of the bed

You got it! I didn’t wake up like this, but baby it was well worth

Society has no strings on me! Honey I put in the work for me!
