vanity whispers lies into our ears
it paints our reflection with illusion
we chase shadows of shallow praise
forgetting the foundation of our being
pride builds walls we cannot break
its bricks keep wisdom out of reach
manipulation seeds itself in our soil
and blooms while we stay blindfolded
but anger burns without control or reason
it wraps its hands around our throats
we scream at the ones we cherish most
tearing what love has stitched together
peace cannot blossom in a storm
serenity drowns where chaos thrives
we carry the weight of these fires
forgetting we have the power to let go

Gray words that have a familiar feel and read with power. Nicely written
