Vanity, be thy name! Ever since I
can remember, I've always been
vain. It takes work, trying to keep
your image, like you just stepped
out of a book. To me, that's the
way, I had to look. Imagine, never
going outside, before your makeup
is on your face. At the same time,
making sure every strand of hair,
is in it's place. The clothes you
wear, have to be coordinated,
down to your shoes and purse. It's
certainly not a blessing, it's actually
a curse. I only wish, I could stop
paying attention, to the way I look,
not bother, or care. But knowing me,
that can never be. My vanity, will
forever, be there!
