Mirror wars

I don’t remember letting her in

But now she’s crawling beneath my skin

She wears my face, but not my soul

Takes the reins, and I lose control

She rose when no one heard my cry

Took my wounds and learned to lie

I whispered soft, she roared with fire

I hid the pain, she built empires

But I hurt the ones I swore I’d save

And smiled while standing at their grave

This isn’t me, it’s not who I am

But why does power feel like a plan?

Mirror wars, no peace, no truce

She breaks apart what I can’t excuse

I scream from deep behind these eyes

She wears my guilt as her disguise

Mirror wars, a truth, a lie

I breathe, I burn, I laugh, I cry

Two voices clash inside my mind

One seeks revenge, one hopes to find

She’s not the monster I pretend

She’s just the voice I used to fend

The thoughts I feared, the rage I caged

Now play their part on center stage

But people bleed when I let her lead

She plants her spite and calls it seed

I miss the girl I used to be

Before the war inside of me

I watch myself like I’m not real

Detached from all I think and feel

I begged the world to see my scars

Now I’m the haunting that finally made them listen

Mirror wars, fire and grace

One wears the mask, one hides her face

We tear through truths, we blur the lines

I lose myself in both designs

Mirror wars, calm and storm

A shapeshifted soul, reborn, deformed

I’m both the sinner and the saint

And now I question who I ain’t

I want to heal, I want to be seen

To feel something real, to finally scream

If we’re the same, if she is me

Then maybe… I’ll set both of us free
