No matter how much people judge you, it doesn't matter. Just be you.


I used to think you were cool.

I wanted to be you.

Be friends with you.

But all you want to do is;

Spend half an hour putting on makeup,

Taking pictures of yourself in the mirror,

Or spending so much time on what you look like.


Why are you so vain?

You only think of yourself

And not other people's pain.


You think of yourself

And no one else.


People like you are

All the same.

I don’t understand why

You’re all so vain.


You dress to impress,

Not to be comfy.

You get compliments, 

But you won’t get one from me 

Because I know what you can be 

If you just stopped 

Caring about what you look like,

And just tried. 


You have like a million friends,

But all of them like you

For what you pretend to be.

 

You think of yourself

Like you’re the queen,

But you don’t realize

That you are just a typical teen.


You post videos of yourself dancing,

Just to get followers.

But people like me 

Are like “Why would I follow her?”


We know what you can be.

And you do too.

If you just tried.


Why are you so vain?

This isn't about one specific person. It's about a big group of people and those people know who they are.
