I built a home of shattered glass… Now I bleed from every glance. ⸻ Held my breath inside your rules, A puppet smile, a leash of truths. Reflections twist into my skin— Each lie I told… now lives within. Hands on my throat were mine the whole time, But I blamed ghosts, I blamed the signs. I made a throne from guilt and shame— And crowned myself with someone else’s name. ⸻ No escape when the walls are you. No salvation in what you choose. ⸻ CAGE OF MIRRORS—EVERY FACE IS MINE! EVERY WOUND A DESIGN! I CANNOT HIDE FROM MY OWN EYES! I AM THE PRISON—I AM THE CRIME! ⸻ Taught myself to suffer soft— The louder you scream, the more they scoff. Drank the poison just to feel, Scratched the scars to prove they’re real. Built this pain like an altar of bones, Worshiped the silence, made it my own. Every scream just echoes back— Another voice I can’t redact. ⸻ I watched myself through glassy lies… And called the monster “you.” But every time I turned away… I knew the truth I outgrew. (Murmured) There’s no savior in the mirror… Only the you you’ve always feared. ⸻ Tear the skin—see what bleeds. Scrape the mask—hear the screams. Rip the soul—split it clean. Find the child… find the fiend. ⸻ CAGE OF MIRRORS—I SEE ME DIE! EVERY REFLECTION TELLS A LIE! I AM THE WARDEN! I AM THE WALL! I BUILT THIS CAGE… I BURN IT ALL! ⸻ The mirror breaks… but I remain… In every shard… another name.
