Vanity is not safe with your heart.

It will judge it's shape and contours

Oblivious of substance

Blinded by conceit.

Vanity will eat you

and spit you out

without tasting.

 

Vanity is a runner

in a race

worthlessness is received

for winning.

 

Prop yourself up on your stilts of pride

over your:

appearance

wealth

talents

accomplishments.

 

How far you have to fall

is obvious to all

Knowing not

that low goals

keep you down.

 

Only those whose roots grow in

humility

humbleness

modesty

Do not depend

on comparison

to feel tall

to feel of value at all.
