Man In The Mirror

Walking through the wreckage of my past, Every choice I made left scars that last. I swore I was doing the right thing, But every step led to more suffering. I don’t understand why I fail, I try to rise, but I derail. I thought I was stronger… But I was wrong. Staring at the mirror, A stranger looks back at me. Every wound, every mistake, Etched into my skin so deep. I try to move on, try to break free, But every time I face my reflection— I can’t look myself in the eye. I once had friends who knew my heart, Now they’re gone, I fell apart. I swear I never meant to let them go, I wish they’d turn around, just say hello. Give me a chance to prove I’ve changed, To show them I’m not the same. I thought I could fix it… But I was wrong. Staring at the mirror, A stranger looks back at me. Every wound, every mistake, Etched into my skin so deep. I try to move on, try to break free, But every time I face my reflection— I can’t look myself in the eye. I trace the footsteps behind me, Lost in the echoes that remind me. This path I walk—was it all a lie? Should I turn back? Should I even try? Maybe redemption’s still ahead, Or maybe I’m too far gone instead. I thought I had no hope… But I was wrong. Staring at the mirror, A stranger looks back at me. Every wound, every mistake, Etched into my skin so deep. I try to move on, try to break free, But every time I face my reflection— I can’t look myself in the eye. Alone in the silence, staring back at my sins, Is this regret, or just who I’ve always been? I want to scream, I want to break, Smash the glass, erase my fate. But even if the mirror shatters— Will I still see him in the cracks? I’m done running. Face to face with the man in the glass, He won’t control me, this won’t last. I may never fix what I’ve done before, But I’ll rebuild, I’ll become more. I won’t hide from who I’ve been— I will take back what is mine.
