Perceptions aren’t reflections

**Verse 1:**

They talk about me like they know my soul,

Point their fingers, try to take control,

But I won't let their words define my fate,

I am who I am, it's never too late.

**Chorus:**

Their perception is not your reflection,

Fuck what they think, keep your direction,

You know your truth, don't need their approval,

Stand tall and proud, break the cycle.

**Verse 2:**

They whisper lies, try to drag me down,

But I'll rise above, won't let them drown,

In their sea of judgment, I won't sink,

My worth is mine, it's not what they think.

**Chorus:**

Their perception is not your reflection,

Fuck what they think, keep your direction,

You know your truth, don't need their approval,

Stand tall and proud, break the cycle.

**Bridge:**

Hold your head high, don't you ever doubt,

Their opinions fade, you'll stand out,

You're stronger than the words they spew,

Keep pushing forward, stay true to you.

**Chorus:**

Their perception is not your reflection,

Fuck what they think, keep your direction,

You know your truth, don't need their approval,

Stand tall and proud, break the cycle.

**Outro:**

So let them talk, let them waste their breath,

You're on your path, won't settle for less,

In the end, it's your life to define,

Fuck what they think, your light will shine.
