The Vanity Bag

The Vanity Bag

I see them cheer, and call me the girl with the vanity bag,
And some gaze at the bag as I see their head sag.
More so do I walk the town with pomp when mamma is aside,
But I go rapt as I see her bag, wondering what all must be inside.


Among many, the vanity bag is one that displays our similarity,
While among a few, this is also the one that defines us distinctly.
As I desire to ask, what all do you carry in it mamma?
I too would share you the secret behind my bag’s charisma.


As I see you unzip yours, I am awed to see in you beauty personified,
While the stars hidden in the sky see me vivified.
I go pensive as I see object of surprises flutter out of your bag,
And the sight of it all leaves me to gag.


Mine is a bag filled with things I cherish and cared,
Some love hidden inside, for when of it this earth would be bared.
A pinch of prayer for those condemned and left astray,

And warmth for the ones for no reason hurt in an affray.
