Vanity

Vanity

A Poem by Paul Bell

The final piece of makeup
She becomes the woman
No kiss on those ruby lips
All for show
Let’s not spoil the glow
For the woman on the go
Competing with Miss high heels
Not forgetting bimbo b***h
The other one who loves herself
Women in general
Checks the mirror for the approval seal
She’s hot
The real deal
Turns and asks
How do i look
I don’t know
I left you years ago.

Speaking in defense of lipstick, lol. But seriously, I once travelled to a biker rally with a chick who had to reapply the makeup streaked across her face at every truck stop on the trip. She brought a plug in curling iron to a farmer's field, and set her alarm half hour early so her boyfriend, with whom she had already lived 3 years, would not see her without makeup. Very sad, this type of vanity, which isn't generally vanity at all, but lack of confidence.

Spot on. Just a mask of no confidence.
oh yes, vanity will undo the beautiful....and when the question is asked...he will no longer be there.

my first ex exemplifies this very well...
i am sorry to say...she was not like that the first couple years i knew her...she was opposite.

But one woman i knew took it to the extremes.

Oh vanity, thou art the cruelest b***h of all.
On a side note, isn't it paradoxical that when a woman wants to attract a male, she puts on a lipstick, yet the act itself is not practical at all because if they end up hooking up she will either have to remove it or end up like the Joker, hence looking more unattractive.
Don't mind me, just some Sunday philosophy going on here.

It's only fair, considering the amount of effort the females put lol
