My Vanity
My Vanity,
Is turning to extremity.
I'd say its a necessity.
The best damn part of me,
it's like I won the lottery.
Of all the insecurities,
mine is an impurity.
Have you got the cure for me?
An antidote,
a way out please,
I used to cry myself to sleep
because I'd hate what I'd see
in the mirror.
My dreaded best friend
I'd break it all to pieces,
but I'd fix it in the end.
I think I hate myself,
friends all tell me just to be myself.
But honestly I'd prefer to be someone else.
Living some place else.
Knowing nothing about how it felt,
to be myself,
having no one else
there.
Some days I see myself
and I cannot help but
stare.
And all the imperfections
stick out like erections
leaving their indention's
in my confidence.
