Vanity

Gino

Why do many of us

mask ourselves in vanity?

 

We dress as spectacles

so that others may give us

the adulation we so desperately crave

in their enthusiastic cloud…

 

…Only to look back

at the long gallery of mirrors

that left us feeling empty

inside the crowd

    Good write. How many of us show others the person behind the mask they see.

      Perfect way to describe how we hide ourselves with earthly surroundings.

        Yes, it happens to most of us like Facebook or other means.

            Well.. I get what you mean..people who are "Label Whores" drive me nuts. I LOVE fashion and I love PUSHING the envelope with fashion, but I shop at second hand stores. I find all kinds of unique stuff for dirt cheap...I am not vain, just like to look good and be different.
