Vanity you’ve come to know <br />So much so you’re called a pro. <br /> <br />A high-pitched scream with every pimple <br />You make life hard it’s never simple. <br /> <br />You stare obsessed about your face <br />And spot one hair that’s out of place. <br /> <br />You pack on hairspray and make-up too <br />You spend half your time in the loo. <br /> <br />Mr. Mirror is your foe and friend <br />Much time with him you always spend. <br /> <br />He can remind you that you look like hell <br />It makes you want to scream and yell. <br /> <br />Big money dwindles on creams and lotions <br />Your head is full of silly notions. <br /> <br />A cure for age you hope to find <br />It would make life easier if the world were blind. <br /> <br />Image-perfect is your only aim <br />Except yourself the world you blame. <br /> <br />'I must look perfect' I hear you say <br />It’s the start of yet another day.<br /><br />Daniel Murphy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mirror-mirror-18/
