Mirror, Mirror


Mirror, mirror on the wall

who's the weakest of them all?

Remember when I threw it all away?

My family, myself, everything I say?

Remember all the lies I told?

Even after the cycle grew old?

Remember how I made myself bleed,

when I laid on the floor covered in defeat?

Remember all the facilities?

The ones you lied to endlessly?

Remember when it all fell apart?

When you stabbed yourself in the heart?

Remember when you made the choice,

to listen to your inner voice?

Remember when you finally admitted

to all the crimes you committed?

Remember when you took a step forward,

taught yourself to be a warrior?

Remember when you finally stepped up?

When you showed them you're tough?

Remember all the  work you did?

All the pain and tears you shed?

 

Mirror, mirror on the wall,

who's the strongest of them all?
