Vanity

The mirror my reflection 

What a glorious sight,

Light hitting my face perfectly

As I tie up my bow.


I paint my eyes with colours 

And line it all with black,

A blended rainbow 

With sharp wings.


A thick black substance

Streaks over my lashes.

And a perfectly lined Cupid's bow

Filled in with red.


What a beautiful sight

A perfect sight, 

The image of beauty

The image of perfect.


I smile 

As I clench my fist, 

And smash it through the mirror

Why can't I just feel beautiful forever?
