Monster In the Mirror

Oh, it's quite a sight
Monster hopping out the cage
She was a doormat
Why is she engulfed in rage
Mama don't love her
She finds daddy in strange men
It would be different
If he had asked for consent

She can fake a smile
Hide everything that's vile
She fights so hard to not let it affect her
But, inside she's dying
They tell her just keep trying
And they continue to use and neglect her

And she's starting to stand up
Only letting in the love love
But, sticks and stones can cut deeper than skin
And she tries to keep it deep
But, sometimes her trauma seeps
Into the world, she can't keep it within
Monster in the mirror

Monster in the mirror
Monster in the mirror

Oh, it's quite the night
Monster tending to her wounds
Others have hurt her
But, the worst is self abuse
The ones she's pushed away
Shoves her back with her regrets
Scared to make things worse
Stumbled words can be roulette

She can fake a smile
But is scared to start to dial
She fights so hard to not let fear consume her
And inside she's dying
Don't think she can keep trying
No hope or dream could possibly exhume her

But, she's starting to stand up
Only letting in the love
Yet sticks and stones can cut deeper than skin
And she tries to keep it deep
But, sometimes her trauma seeps
Into the world, she can't keep it within
Monster in the mirror

Monster in the mirror
Monster in the mirror

The ones of the past, they ripped the seams
Thought that vulnerable meant she couldn't scream
But she's breaking out, she won the game
And she'll make damn sure you'll rue the day
When you shattered her, you fucked with her
Scrambled her brain with fake love for her
But, she's healing now, process feelings now
What you took away she's stealing now
She lost her ground, but she's willing to fight
When she wants to quit, she stays out of spite
With the weight of the world, she's still standing strong
And through her mistakes, she owns her wrongs

The bridges burned, she's sifting through the ash
And she tries so hard to get her old life back
And she's learned a lot, but at quite the cost
On a quest for love, a monumental loss
Hates who she became, she's on the path to growth
And from here on out, she will live an oath
"I won't let a man take my everything
Won't give up my throne for less than a king"
