Dear Mirror,
Mirror on the wall, do you see through me?
The battles deep inside or the truths I set free
You don’t blink, you don’t explain,
You just reflect my endless pain.
Ive been running out of time
Carrying weights that aren't mine
Mirror shows what I can't hide
The flame that burns from deep inside
I wore the crown it wore me thin
Built my throne on pride and sin
Tended to every helpless cry
Held my kingdom to the sky
Carried their burdens on my own
Drank all their tears remained unknown
Gave them my all, yet none remained
Inside their grief my soul has drained
I gave my heart to mend the broken
My grieving soul became the token
I dropped my crown the mirrors spoken
"Faith prevails where pride has broken"
Mirror, mirror, if I fall,
Will you catch me, will you call?
Or leave me standing all alone
Till I accept that this is home.
