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
