Looks
Looks
Maybe it is vanity
Or simply just a yearning for serenity
I do look at faces
And study their blatant traces
Some speak of sincerity
On others I see insecurity
No matter the judgment
Reading them I find fulfillment
You have to excuse me
I just got to fill the desire in me
However I judge
I hope you wouldn’t budge
Your character is what matters
And not what you hear that flatters
