Vanity is the color of Hell's brightest fires.
It sounds like my voice, constantly boasting about every move I make.
It's tasteless.
It smells like the make up that only enhances my perfect features.
It looks like the world seen only from the center.
It makes me feel important.

It is the color of the sky during a violent storm.
It sounds like snobby laughter.
It tastes bittersweet.
It smells like thick smoke.
It looks like my pretty face staring back at me.
It makes me feel better than everyone else.

It looks like the shine of the mirror.
It sounds like thunder.
I can taste nothing until my Pride is swallowed.
It smells like my favorite perfume.
It looks like a spotlight that follows me where ever I go.
It makes me feel happy.

Purified only by carrying heavy stones on one's back,
the opposite of Humility,
the work of Lucifer,
Suberbia.
second in a series of eight. Vanity or Pride!
