Deceitful Reflections

I look in the mirror, what do I see?

A reflection that never feels right to me.

My shoulders are too narrow, my chest too big,

I’m chasing a standard I’ll never fit in.

Every glance, every glance, feels like a lie,

I'm too soft, not enough to satisfy.

I’m told to be strong, I’m told to be tough,

But I can’t shake the feeling that I’m not enough.

(Chorus)

I’m not skinny enough, not built like a king,

Not enough muscle, yet too much of everything.

I’m stuck in a battle that no one can see,

The man in the mirror’s not who I want to be.

I’m not enough, not enough for me.

(Verse 2)

I scroll through the feeds, and I start to compare,

Every picture’s a promise, but none of it’s fair.

They’ve got the abs, they’ve got the brawn,

While I’m here wishing I could just belong.

I flex, but I never see the change,

Stuck in a loop, feeling so estranged.

I lift, I push, but it’s never enough,

The more I try, the more I feel rough.

(Chorus)

I’m not skinny enough, not built like a king,

Not enough muscle, yet too much of everything.

I’m stuck in a battle that no one can see,

The man in the mirror’s not who I want to be.

I’m not enough, not enough for me.

(Bridge)

Will I ever feel strong? Will I ever feel whole?

Or am I just fighting a war with my soul?

I want to believe, I want to feel free,

But I’m lost in a maze of who I’m supposed to be.

(Chorus)

I’m not skinny enough, not built like a king,

Not enough muscle, yet too much of everything.

I’m stuck in a battle that no one can see,

The man in the mirror’s not who I want to be.

I’m not enough, not enough for me.

(Outro)

Maybe someday, I’ll learn to be kind,

Stop the war that I’ve waged in my mind.

But for now, I’ll keep reaching, I’ll keep fighting the fight,

Hoping one day I’ll find peace with the sight.
