Mirror Mirror

Hey there girl staring back at me

Eyes like puddles drowning silently

Who am I now do you even know

Abandoned again, will it ever end

Why do they all leave, where do they stray?

Is it something in me that drives them away?

Am I too much or not enough

This weight's too heavy this life too rough

Shaking hands brushing tears from my face

My reflection’s breaking but it won’t erase

Every word they said still lingers strong

Every step I take feels so wrong

Why do they all leave where do they go

Am I the storm or just the echo

I try to hold on but they slip away

Now I'm left asking why they won’t stay

Reflection whispers, "You're your own demise,"

But what do you see when tears cloud your eyes?

If you’ll stay with me in this endless pain,

I’ll hold your hand and we’ll fade away in vain.

Why do they all leave where do they go

Is it that my cracks finally show

Am I the reason for this disarray

Still I’m here crying, begging them to stay

Slowly, I’ll rise, I’ll learn to let go…

The weight's still there, but I'm finding my flow

A glimpse in the mirror, and I see a new face

A woman who's healing, taking back her place

I take a step forward, into the unknown light

I leave the shadows, and I face the night

I'm not the same girl, staring back at me

I'm stronger, wiser, and I'm finally free.

I’m finally… free…
