Reflecting
Reflecting, Refracting
Thoughts stream through my mind
Actions hide my inner-workings
The Past hurts, but I'm playing pretend in the Present
I remember, I remember, I remember
But I won't Speak Up
The Time for Justice has passed
Now It's time for Forgiveness.
Can I forgive?
Reflecting, Refrain
It's so hard to bite my tongue
Shame, Pressure, Anger, and all the things I Never Said
I thought
My Mistakes were too great
That It had been all my fault
Maybe I Pushed too Hard
Now, Looking back, I realize…
I kept myself too Quiet.
Reflecting, Repeat
Looking back is like a Light
Looking back is like a poison
Looking back, Looking back, Look back
What was I doing? Why didn't I? I should have…?
I have to stop this song
Time To Breathe, Time to Look Away, Time to Sing
I am Strong, I am Beautiful, I am Kind
Repeat until It is a Reality.
