Gloriously Vain

Why take the effort to strain your brain?
I am telling you...
I'm gloriously vain.
End your assumptions.
And a need to campaign against,
What you believe after your acknowledgement...
I should restrict and set to comfortable limits.
For you...
This is not my goal to pursue.

I've done my best to ease your mind.
To help you find another game to claim.
Or someone else to annoy if that is your aim!
I am telling you...
I'm gloriously vain.
And doing what I can to uncover the mystery of it!
There is none.
None I wish to resist.
Were you expecting a denial to exist?

I am telling you and not feeling one bit foolish!
I'm gloriously vain and magnificently positive.
In spite of comments derogative made by those in disbelief.
These shoes I wear fit my two feet.
And I stride with pride keeping faith by my side.
