*** Title: Vanity ***

Empty, yet crowded.

Words: thick, bitter, sometimes delicate,

smashes against the walls.

She has no hands to touch,

she doesn't feel the yoke of gazes.

She reflects only the light of her own radiance.

She buries the truth in the forest.

She teaches nothing except what

she paints in the colors she chooses.

Will she ever hear another melody?

Will she understand a song that doesn't praise?

Time passes, and SHE stands still

on the island of her own illusions..
