Mirror Mirror

Mirror mirror on the wall

Who am I after all

The beatings and intrusions

The rapes of who I could've been

Am I merely the mess they made?

Am I just a product of the pain?

Mirror mirror on the door

Will my body off the floor

Tell me lies of how strong I am once more

Tell me I'm pretty, fierce and kind

Tell me I can heal my heart with my mind

Mirror mirror please help me see

The person I aspire to be

Free from the wallows of misery

The shadows of every maybe

The heat from those who hate me

Mirror

Mirror

we are the same

Us two

But I feel ashamed sometimes when I look at you.

I almost heard you tell procrastination and self loathing to get out

But the noise of doubt was much too loud

Mirror mirror rescue me, please, from all the ghosts surrounding me

From all the lies I tell myself

Especially the ones that I believe.

Mirror, mirror

To myself befriend

Cause like the sun I will always rise again

Mirror Mirror it is in this hour

I ask you endow me with your power

Extinguish complacency, acceptance of mundane, and with a thirst for bullshit devour

Anything that makes me appear like a coward!

Mirror Mirror you've resurrected me today

And burned the bed of lies in which I laid

For this life you will be repaid

With all the marvels I have made

Breaking all the laws of sin that I can break

And with all the love my heart can take

All the beauty my soul can make

Mirror Mirror I see you - yet though they've labeled you many things

Confused, defeated, friend, mother you were called too

But, you are the many and you are the few

You are not what you want

You are what you do.
