Vanity

(Vanity.)

Mirror check please!
Got the lip gloss on,
And thats teenage vanity.

See your reflection in the windows,
Anywhere possible to see this "beauty"
If plastic surgery is the risk,
I'll pay whatever I have to admit.

I must be pretty and I must stay young.
For beauty stays in their twenties,
Never older, only for some.

Shopping at designer wear,
From gucci to Dior,
I really couldn't care.
Beauty only shows on the exterior,
Something for all to stare.

(Bystander.)

Look at this girl,
She is so vain.
Her hair always a new style.
And her clothes are never the same.

What is that? Botox eating her skin.
That isn't beauty.
I prefer beauty from within.

She may think she has all the guys looking,
That maybe a possibility.
But vanity marries vanity,
So to be vain with another,
Should only cause more pain.

I see nothing but superficiality and plastic,
If she could take all this away,
She could be beautiful within herself.

Amazing what this century has done,
Which drives beautiful little girls insane.
