Pearls & Curls

As I hop out of bed and walk towards the mirror,
the primping begins.
Clean teeth, pink cheeks,
eyes lined, lashes untwined.
All this.....why?
Abs flexed, tan legs,
hairs curled, add some pearls,
do a little twirl,
& go out to face the day.

This routine is exactly that,
...routine.
Why have my habits become so habitual?
to becon attention,
like I need it to be happy?
Isn't God's Love and attention enough?
His affection is all I need.
He is the only man I should long for.
Should.

The truth is...
Girls just want to be needed,
need to be liked,
and like to be wanted.
