Mirror On The Wall

Used to trace my face in a cracked-lit room

Asking mirrors questions they’d never prove

Girls like them got the light, got the name

I learned how to stand just outside the frame

Laughed along when the joke cut deep

Taught myself how to disappear sweet

If pretty was power, I had none to hold

Just a quiet heart and a voice controlled

⸻

Every night I whispered into the dark

“Let me be the girl they can’t ignore”

Prayed to Karma like it kept score

But Karma never answered before…

⸻

Mirror on the wall… who did I become?

Soft in the daylight, dangerous when it’s done

Silk on my skin but there’s fire in my soul

They don’t look past me… they lose control

Used to be nothing they’d fight to recall

Now I’m the reason they’re losing it all

Mirror on the wall… say it again

I’m everything I begged to have been

⸻

Now it’s slow turns, eyes that stay

Every room bends when I walk their way

Same lips, same face, different flame

Now they learn how to say my name

Friends who see me, real and rare

No more ghosts pretending to care

And the ones who doubted don’t come near

They feel it shift when I appear

⸻

Karma stayed silent, left me alone…

But something else picked up the phone

⸻

Mirror on the wall… who did I become?

Soft in the daylight, dangerous when it’s done

Silk on my skin but there’s fire in my soul

They don’t look past me… they lose control

Used to be nothing they’d fight to recall

Now I’m the reason they’re losing it all

Mirror on the wall… say it again

I’m everything I begged to have been

⸻

I didn’t sell my soul… I just made a wish

Mascara prayers, every night like this

Karma stayed quiet, wouldn’t answer me

But something in the dark said “come to me”

Cold hands gentle as they tilted my chin

“Let me remake you… let me begin”

No contract, no mercy, no need to pretend

It held me close while it hardened my skin

Taught me their gaze, how it lingers, it breaks

How to be wanted without needing to chase

Rocked me to silence, then sharpened my smile

“Now go be the girl they’ll remember a while”

⸻

Mirror on the wall… now I know her name

She’s the prayer I whispered wrapped in flame

Innocence laced with a dangerous glow

They don’t understand her… but they know

I begged for power, I learned the cost

But I’d do it again for the girl I’ve become

Mirror on the wall… don’t let me fall

I like her… I like her… I like her all
