Shadows in the Mirror

In the silence, echoes fall,

A heart that breaks within these walls.

Who have I become, in this endless fight?

A shadow of a man lost in the night.

Mirror shows a face I can"t embrace,

A husband’s smile, a father’s grace.

But deep inside, the anger grows,

A bitter truth that nobody knows.

I try so hard to wear the mask,

To hold a life that’s built on cracks.

With every laugh, I’m holding back,

The weight of me, it’s turning black.

Oh, I"m drowning in a sea of doubt,

Hear me cry, will you pull me out?

I need to feel the light of love,

To rise again and soar above.

Days turn to shadows, nights never sleep,

Lost in the secrets I can’t keep.

Holding silence, emptiness reigns,

A love I crave but brings me pain.

Every step feels heavy and wrong,

Can’t find the words to right the song.

The man I see, he’s not my friend,

But I want to fight, I want to mend.

Oh, I"m drowning in a sea of doubt,

Hear me cry, will you pull me out?

I need to feel the light of love,

To rise again and soar above.

If I could break these chains I wear,

And climb from darkness to the air,

I’d hold my kids, show them their worth,

I’d face the storm and claim my birth.

So take my hand, don’t let me fall,

I’m more than shadows, I hear the call.

Together we’ll rise, break through the pain,

With love as our guide, we’ll live again.
