"Vanity It’s simply breath!”
Our earthly life with its simple pleasures,
May offer up some token treasures,
Lipstick, fever red, and not to subtly applied,
Hides the nature of your smile,
Simple wisdom eludes vanity,
Though both the wise and foolish end in death.
So why worry ?
Just be you!
Vanity
Vanity is an excessive self-regard, It's exaggerated pride, a mask, a means to self-publicizing, a synthetic life...
Some people choose makeup and others choose Facebook, but we all come to the same sticky end sooner or later.
I'd like to see you, just  you with all the layers taken off !
