Bye Bye, Vanity

Bye, bye Vanity I no longer care what you think of me

You are supposed to reflect truth

Instead you reveal lies

Often bringing tears to my eyes

I admire the reflection of others

Instead of the features given to me by my mother

I often find disgust in simply being me

Over time I gained self confidence

I look further than my reflection

I look past the imperfections

I appreciate the features that make me different from my teachers

I build confidence from my accomplishments

I am more than my reflection but I am not perfection

Perfection isn’t important

It only creates false endorphins

I am what I want to be

I no longer care about my vanity
