Is Beauty Vanity

When youthfulness is booming, 
And beauty is live streaming;
While she tops her elegant eighteen 
Assured she’s no more a teen
As she advertises like a slay queen:

World class comments on Facebook,
Nighttime parties inbox booked,
The men will love to play and hook,
As they all scramble for her pretty looks,
Does she even know how to cook?

Young and amazingly pretty,
Deedful and emotionally guilty,
She wants the things so flashy,
But all is sweet vanity...
When she faces the future of her reality.

She says she’s coming but never arrives;
Her tone is fueled with charm of lies;
As she blinks the streets like a Chinese show;
But beauty is a pretty blow...

I yet can see the smile of old age,
When beauty has drowned on the young stage;
She lost the star when she got engaged,
Acting now like a curtain drawer on the backstage;
Yet, old age is a lifetime beauty cage.
