Mirror of My Mind

I've been chasing dreams, running fast
Through the corridors of my troubled past
Climbing mountains, reaching high
Trying to touch the endless sky

I search for meaning in every turn
Hoping to find one where my heart can learn
Learn

But every path I walk seemed too stray
Leading me further, lost and afraid
I thought the answers lay out of sight
In the distant stars, in the fading light

But what if the truth I seek is here
Not in the distance, but in the mirror
The reflection staring back at me
Holds the key to what I want to see
The mirror of my mind, where shadows bleed
Is the place where I'll find my way

I've been looking out, but trying to find
A way to escape the chains that bind
Thinking the world held all the clues
To heal the wounds, to mend the bruise

But every time I reach out and fly
Hoping to find it like a fallen star
I thought the journey was to break free
From the chains that held the real me

But now I see it's not the world outside
It's the fears within, where I've tried to hide
But what if the truth I seek is here
Not in the future, but in the mirror

The reflection staring back at me
Holds the door to where I need to be
The mirror of my mind, where doubts reside
Is the place where I'll find my way

I was looking for a sign, for a guiding light
But all along it's been in plain sight

The mirror isn't just glass and frame
It's the window to where I need to aim

The truth I seek isn't far away
It's within me where I've often cried
The reflection staring back at me isn't just me
It's the courage to set myself free

The mirror of my mind isn't just a wall
It's the place where I'll stand tall

So now I know, as I stand here strong
The answers were within me all along
The mirror of my mind, clear and true
Is the path I've been searching for
And now I see it too
