Mirror Talk

Lyrics written by 5... This song is about what I go through on a daily basis. Me against all the other voices in my head. Some helps me, other's try to destroy me. If you suffer with this then you know what I'm talking about. My family tries to understand my situation, but they really don't. I have to fight me and also help me. This song is me talking to my other's in my head💛✨ (Me) I look in the mirror and I barely recognize her. Eyes tired, spirit heavy, trying to pretend I’m fine. Some days I feel a little light breaking through, But most days I’m fighting myself just to get out of bed. (Good me) You’re not broken. You’re bruised, but you’re still breathing. You keep saying you need to get better, and you will. You’re not as “weird” as you think. You’re just hurting, and you’re trying. (Me) I stay inside because it’s easier than explaining myself. Family knocks, but I don’t open the door. Outside feels loud, unsafe, too close. Online strangers feel safer than people who know my name. They don’t see me. They don’t judge me. They give me something real life never does. (Good me) You can’t hide forever. You deserve people who show up for you. You deserve trust that doesn’t feel like a threat. I know you’re scared... But you’re not meant to live behind a screen. (Me) But then there’s her. The part of me I pray nobody ever meets. She whispers when I’m tired, Pushes when I’m weak. Tells me to wreck everything I’ve built. She’s the monster I keep locked behind my ribs. The one I’m scared will take the wheel if I slip. (Dark Me) Let me out. Let me burn it all down. Let me show you how easy it is to lose control. You know I’m here. You know I’m loud. You know I’m the part of you you’re scared to admit exists. (All of me) Her: I’m trying to hold myself together. Hopeful voice: You’re stronger than your shadows. Her:But she keeps pulling at me. Dark voice: Because I’m part of you. Hopeful voice: But not the part that wins. Her: I just want peace. Hopeful voice: Then keep fighting. Dark voice: Or give in. (Outro) I’m standing in the mirror, choosing who I want to be. I’m scared, but I’m still here. I’m hurting, but I’m still trying. I’m hopeful, even when I don’t feel like it. And I won’t let the monster be the one who speaks for me. ____ ____💛✨️
