Vanity Or Not?

Hidden behind those mirrors
Peeking for a glimpse 
Who says there for whims? 
Some many say it conceited 
Others my feel cheated 
But whatever the truth 
Vanity is everyone’s suit 
We all like praise in one form or another 
So don’t act so bothered and smothered with shock 
Go ahead take a look 
admire yourself 
If you don’t blow your own horn 
Neither will anyone else
