Simply Me

In a world of vanity, you stand tall, Yet blind to the wonders that befall. Through eyes of innocence, I break free, From the evil gaze that clouds your decree. You see nothing but your own reflection, Deaf to the whispers of true affection. Told by many, you're beautiful and fair, But you simply smile and say, "I'm just me," aware. Oh, my child, lost in vanity's embrace, Let love guide you, a saving grace. For true beauty lies not in the mirror's gleam, But in a heart that's pure, like a crystal stream. Embrace the world with eyes wide open, Let kindness and compassion be your token. Release the shackles that bind your sight, And bask in the radiance of love's pure light. Oh vanity, how it blinds and deceives, But love, dear child, can grant reprieve. So shed the veil, let your spirit soar, And discover a beauty worth living for. Romique
