Reflections of Resilience

[Intro]
In the quiet of the night, the shadows creep,
I face my reflection, where secrets sleep.
[Verse 1]
Looking in the mirror, oh so hard to see,
Time slipped away like grains of sand to me.
Each wrinkle tells a tale of battles fought,
The scars they carry lessons, but worth the cost.
[Pre-Chorus]
Betrayal lingers softly in the air,
A haunting breeze, whispers everywhere.
I stand here still, though life has tried to break,
What I’ve become, every choice I had to make.
[Chorus]
I’m not the man that I wanted to be,
I’m the man that I had to be.
Reflections show scars, not the story whole,
Just a glimpse of the heart and the restless soul.
[Verse 2]
In this mirror, I find my fractured dreams,
Fragments of the past, or so it seems.
I reach for the light, but shadows hold me tight,
Still chasing a ghost in the fading light.
[Pre-Chorus]
Time will tattoo the memories on my skin,
Lessons learned, and the places I’ve been.
With every heartbeat, I reclaim my right,
To wear these scars like armor in the fight.
[Chorus]
I’m not the man that I wanted to be,
I’m the man that I had to be.
Reflections show scars, not the story whole,
Just a glimpse of the heart and the restless soul.
[Bridge]
So I'll stand tall, let the mirror fade,
Every fracture, every bruise, I’ve made.
I’ll write my own story, chapter by chapter,
Finding strength in the pain, rediscovering laughter.
[Chorus]
I’m not the man that I wanted to be,
I’m the man that I had to be.
Reflections show scars, not the story whole,
Just a glimpse of the heart and the restless soul.
[Outro]
So here I am, just a voice in the night,
With scars that shine through the darkest fight.
The mirror fades, but my truth stays bright,
A testament to past, as I embrace the light.
