Vanity

I need my hair just right I need my socks to match each other I need mascara to be on point I need foundation to hide who I am When does it stop How do you know at what point and time do you lose yourself All this covering up I've learned to be what people want But what do I really want myself V.A.N.I.T.Y Somethings change with just a little touch Yet somethings never change you can't mask a girls insecurities up She still feels them everyday No matter what her outside appearance says and the more she feels INVINCIBLE the more she feels AFRAID V.A.N.I.T.Y There's no hair color to pretty you can be pretty naturally I love my hair straight like chinese people that's why I use a 300 dollar flat iron and I love handbags of the expensive varity I put on a show each day for everyone But inside i'm alone and no one really knows V.A.N.I.T.Y I close my eyes and wish I could disappear from this moment in time escape our 21st century where they teach us to judge by what we see So i'm vain because of society I have to look pleasing to the eye? Is it my fault I'm vain? Or is it our problem in disguise? V.A.N.I.T.Y
