#conceited
you’re not used to this is how you testify? woe to thee who asked for ease to be denied! since you’re better than others and cannot believe otherwise i have no sympathy if that’s your reply i don’t care if you’re levitating insufferably high everyone deserves respect regardless of how stratified kindness isn’t stupid, it’s beautifully dignified if you can’t see that then you’re unqualified to be of those I declare compassionately legitimized if you were truly great you wouldn’t resort to abuses you’d be who you are no matter how many uses and while i believe in doing what one so reasonably chooses my sympathies are immune to your pompous excuses

excuses
I mourn a future never meant to be, discarding rose-tinted glasses for emerald shades. I don a hood of fractured memories, and despair the person I never became.

Indulgent depression

Underwear
I’ll be sitting on the fence; until the cows come home, You can steal my thunder, and you can break my bones. Blood is thicker than water and you’re the apple of my eye, you may steal my thunder, but you're a blessing in disguise, Because honey! You're just so easy on the eye, It’s true I’m shallow; but you're so easy on the eye. I like the way you walk, I like the way you talk, I like the way you move, I like the way you groove, I like the way you scream, I like the way you shout, I like the way you spit, (Swollow) I like the way you pout! Because honey You're just so easy on the eye, It's trues you're a monster; but you're so easy on the eye!

Easy on the eye
self importance he did relish therein lay a swollen ego was inflated of embellish all this being held as a cargo therein lay a swollen ego so monumental the extent all this being held as a cargo of the largest conceited tent so monumental the extent it could not be denied at all of the largest conceited tent he finding joy in his own thrall it could not be denied at all ever putting one's self up first he finding joy in his own thrall was no shown quelling of the thirst ever putting one's self up first all this being held as a cargo was no shown quelling of the thirst therein lay a swollen ego

Swollen Ego (Pantoum)
on seeing his resplendent image in the reflective glass that did start a lifelong romance every minute of every day he'd take an idolizing look at himself in the mirror's venerating window he's not vain not half he's right into self-love kissing himself until the glass fogs up who's that lovely fellow with the conceited appearance as he throws his adoring arms rapturously around himself

-don't be conceited, my dear-
Little standing duck whose weight wobbles her feet, Simple sallow duck sways in shallow water, Unconcerned. Dips beak in silt for grit and looks up, So much gratitude for a little, a grain. The known, the too well known is sneered, A little vanity in understanding the latent perhaps? To keep hid secret humour, whose hue only remains seen? Reddened cheeks and jutting veins, Or just leave it all unsaid, maybe. Duck does not tuck it in. Dredge she will for the least and lift it too. Sinister chuckles she cackles at, what insolence! Yet the vulnerability is unearthed any way. Against the sun's glare little lingers, Of the conceited ingenuity. But why is being figured out such a scare?

Trivia
Blow on me, northerly breeze Dry my watery eyelids From the tears that drop Like the Arabian trees Cry their medicinal gum. Oh, summer aroma That does justice to break my defiance against this heat. Heated affair, may you incinerate in the Sahara, And chill to death as the night approaches in that barren landscape. But here I lie Bored, invisible in the haughty summer And behind those darkened forests Begins a steady haunted drummer.

Inhale Summer
I continue loving you from a distance, That one chance you had, you missed it. You lit the flame, I ignited it, so I'm the one who's to blame. I let you in, tried to open you up, while knowing what I was getting involved in... You cut me off when I needed you most, tried to warm your heart, when I saw you were cold, we've grown so close became vulnerable. "I should have known." Now I'm here, with my heart strings bleeding , because you cut them by leaving. Right when I needed... I pleaded... But you're cowardly conceited... You're afraid of love, I can see it in your eyes, "Don't look away." No need to masquerade, I see it through your cold disguise, "Please be brave." I know you want it, you're suppressing it like I. A part of me already knew you would do something like this... I didn't want to believe that it was true. Why would you start pretending I never existed? "Just like I predicted." You dismissed it, Instead of trying to fix this.

Cowardly Conceited
"She puts too much make-up" That's what they say. They don't know that.. Foundation is for her pale skin Concealer is for her stressed eyebags Lipstick is for her sad lips and eye-shadow is for her dead eyes Is she conceited or she just hides everything well? Think again.

I just feel there is Something immortal Inside our veins, And perhaps I am conceited But I mean it. You make eternity Possible with your gentle swords of hands, And perhaps I am defeated But I feel it. -- Eleanor

Defeated
chorus: Why did I worry And why did I sin And why was I just so conceited And why did I roll in the mud of the world for so long Why was I angry And why did I cry And why did I judge those I hated And why did I waste love on those that I didn't care for Even when darkness knew what I feared He knew what I needed

What I Needed
Nobody tells you it is okay to call yourself beautiful it is okay to smile at mirrors and it is perfectly fine to say your own eyes are pretty it is wonderful to love your waist and your legs regardless of their size and you are not conceited if you use your fingers to list everything you’re good at rather than point at all your own flaws you can acknowledge you’re smart and that you will go places and you will be someone greater than your mistakes you can’t always expect other people to believe in yourself for you

Conceited
when you said you stopped trying, it nearly ripped my heart out. i guess i just always thought you'd be there. i was stupid to think that, and conceited. but i'm glad you're over me, in a twisted and cynical way.

be conceited love yourself love every single aspect of yourself your thunder thighs, your braces your back fat, the way your jaw clicks whenever you eat something crunchy your allergies, your stumpy fingers the hair on your arms, and the way that you always click your pen even when people ask you to stop love yourself love yourself until the day you die and if anyone ever calls you conceited you tell them                                                     **** yes i am                                                              why arent you?
