my sweet vanity

my sweet Vanity

Vanity seems to follow me
where ever i may go
and when it’s time for my act
Vanity steals the show

many times i notice her presence
yet times she slips on by
at times i judge her essence essential
and i can’t but help ask why

is it my endless insecurities
and all about me i‘m not sure of
why Vanity appears between “Me and I”
when we are practicing “Self Love”

she even lays and dreams with me
as i ponder all i wish for
i think she takes lessons from “EGO”
at his home within my core

i ask myself should i worry
not sure who will answer me
for all the different colorful voices
offer their own decree

Vanity falls upon her knees
and pleads for much more light
Ego stands and flexes muscles
to exhibit his illusory might

but in the end i must consider
are they ‘me’ as i suspect
Vanity, Ego and the Ethereal Realm
gives cause for my circumspect

my sweet Vanity
