Wildly, creatively free
Location
More than just a pretty little face
No desire to sit on front pages
Or strut across pageant stages
Her drive catwalks into the room first
Confident she stands tall, no heels on
Face bare, exposed to all
If you asked her
She'd say
"I woke up like this"
99% brain that girl is
Knowing education will take her further
Reading chapter books since kindergarten
Finished with work faster than her peers
Teachers perplexed singing
"We need more work. Find her more work"
Nose deep in books of all sorts
Reading miles a minute
Sharpening her most prized tool
Never dull
Intelligence cuts like a steak knife
If you asked her
She'd say
"I woke up like this"'
Wildly, creatively free is she
In school, feet hurting
From chasing a journalism degree
Marching up the steps to succeed
Mastered the art of playwrighting
A poet at heart
An author by nature
A secret songstress
Constructed completely from words
Soulful, peaceful, graceful
Ink spills from her ballpoint pen
Handwriting messy as thoughts jump one over the other
Battling to be expressed first
Waves of inspiration washing over she
Come swim in the seas of creativity
Freestyle on the dance floors of self expression
If you asked her
She'd say
"I woke up like this"
Must've been a musician in a past life
In her zone when the song starts
Finding herself when the beat drops
Empty when the song stops
Craving noise, instruments, lyrics
She breathes music
What good is oxygen
When the soul craves symphonies
Left brain and right brain can both agree
Nothing's better than a blissful harmony
Able to find release from the worries of today
In the form of throwback tracks
Creating a soundtrack to climb from the bottom with
Her favorite song will play as she spins a spin of victory
Beats and ballads balance the mind of she
They started calling that girl music
When asked
She'd say
"I woke up like this"
Flawless is she
For possessing what money won't buy
Loving the art you can find
Looking up at the sky
Being an open journal to mark up
And leave your secrets in
Wanting to make a name for herself
Fueled by dreams
Raps of hope and better tomorrow's
With her notepad and iPod she's invincible
With her mind she'll change the minds of masses
Flawless is me
When asked
I'd say
"I woke up like this"
