Reflections in a Silent Mirror

Mirror reflecting a stranger's face

Lost in the shadows, trapped in everyday's race

Days blur into nights, feeling numb inside

Pressure mounting high, no place left to hide

Putting others first, forgetting your own light

Silent screams echo, in the still of the night

Who am I beneath this guise?

A fading spark in these endless skies

Heart's been broken, pieces misplaced

Chasing shadows, losing pace

Signs that I’ve lost myself, slipping away

Drowning in the quiet, day after day

Trying to find my own voice, carry me back

To who I was before the world turned black

Tasks become burdens, joy feels so rare

Emotionally numb, caught in a stare

Act differently around others, can’t explain

Disconnect feels deeper, like an endless chain

Who am I beneath this guise?

A fading spark in these endless skies

Heart's been broken, pieces misplaced

Chasing shadows, losing pace

Signs that I’ve lost myself, slipping away

Drowning in the quiet, day after day

Trying to find my own voice, carry me back

To who I was before the world turned black

Looking in the mirror, can’t recognize the face

Searching for the reason, trying to find my place

Breaking the silence, start to reclaim

The lost portions of my name

Slow steps towards the light, I’ll find my way

Rebuilding what was broken, day by day

With each dawn, a new chance to see

The returning of the true me
