Price I Paid For My Vanity

All these years on earth 

i never learnt to walk 

Spent years speaking 

but never learnt to talk 

I laughed a lot 

but never knew how to smile 

even when I disliked a person 

but still liked one's profile 

Always was at arms distance, 

I Never understood a person from near 

I never told a girl," you are perfect in my eyes, whatever you may wear"

I never thanked 

for what i had in the past

Never tried to come first

just didnt wanted to be last

All my adult life, never threw a punch,  never started a fight 

I Always hated angels but kept in check that devil on my other side 

Never was able to say 

what i really wanted to say 

Always hated God personally 

but for others i'd pray 

I Never respected my family 

Who would give their life for mine 

Who needs love, i said 

All i wanted was to shine 

But now when i am here 

all old and alone 

Now no one wants to talk to me,

Not even on the phone 

All these years later,

i found importance of humanity

by searching inside my soul 

and removing my biggest vice i.e. "My Vanity"
