Mirror I Avoid

Verse 1

I dodge my reflection in the hallway glass

Don’t ask me who I am, I’ll let it pass

I wear jokes like armor, smiles like glue

Anything to hide the truth

Pre-Chorus

I keep trying to be someone new

But I take myself wherever I move

Chorus

I don’t like who I am right now

Feels like I’m letting myself down

I’m tired of fighting my own skin

Tired of losing from within

If I could change my name, my face, my heart

I swear I’d make a brand-new start

I don’t like who I am right now

But I’m still here somehow

Verse 2

Everyone says, “You’ll be okay”

Like it’s that simple, like it’s one straight way

But I’m stuck in the in-between

Not who I was, not who I dream

Pre-Chorus

I hold myself to a breaking point

Every flaw feels like a loaded choice

Chorus

I don’t like who I am right now

Feels like I’m screaming but no sound

I’m counting scars like they define

Every failure, every time

If self-love’s a place I’m meant to go

I missed the exit years ago

I don’t like who I am right now

But I’m still here somehow

Bridge

Maybe growth feels ugly at the start

Maybe healing tears you apart

Maybe this war inside my head

Means I’m not done yet

Final Chorus

I don’t like who I am right now

But I’m learning how

To sit with the ache, to stay, to try

To let myself be alive

I won’t pretend I’m proud or strong

But I won’t say I don’t belong

I don’t like who I am right now

But I’m becoming someone somehow

Outro

If I survive this season’s rain

Maybe I’ll thank myself one day
