I Am Not A Mirror

Fear her— no one near her

Words are inferior

My perception is clearer

I am not a mirror


I see you, the one who hides

Don’t look at me, I haven’t lied

Your lose ends aren’t tied

I am not a mirror


What haunts you does not expose me

It was your demons you chose to free

Don’t project, I want our worlds to meet

I am not a mirror


Loving you at your worst

Shouldn’t feel like a curse

With too much pressure I may burst

I am not a mirror


When I crack it’s not to attack

I’d rather fight to win us back

Stop being so white and black

I am not a mirror
