VANITY

  Vanity: A cure for certain types of melancholy  I get through each day Doing it exactly my way I try to maintain Honor and dignity. With a spirit that's carefree. It does sooth the pain At least mentally. I don’t always have control And I may be "stricken" and getting old …older But my fires haven’t gotten colder. When all is said and done I’m a handsome son –of -a - gun I do still have what it takes To make a heart  or two ache. Vanity Is a cure for certain types of  melancholy. It is the fuel injection That gets me passed Another rejection. Not really a sin. We all know The real show Is within I only wish they all  could see The beauty inside of me.
