The Self Incarcerated Virgo

Vanity and pride are my prison
Inhibitions bind and trap my desires
Relentlessly striving for perfection
Greatness eludes my every move
Outwardly concealing my inner turmoil

Nice Acrostic. And you made me think. It is true that vanity and pride may keep us from letting our hair down and running with the wind. Thus the prison. Good write. Thanks for sharing. And welcome to Poetry Soup.
