Analysis of Vanity
One morning I saw in the mirror
A burning face full of terror
Every hour it was getting voluptuous
Striking the hours that appeared to be conspicuous.
Making me dull from inside
Driven with frailty and derided with a pride.
For it had enchanted me with false hope.
With this fiend I decided to elope.
