What if the face you fear the most
I stood in the mirror and didn't blink
Saw my younger self drowning in the sink
Not water but trauma they never cleaned
A little girl praying for silent dreams
I covered my pain in perfection's mask
Smiled through the chaos forgot to ask
What do I need who hears my cry
Why do I flinch when I look in my eyes
Not the hurt but who I'm meant to be
I'm not broken just unseen
Reflections hold the in between
Held my wounds like holy books
Lessons written in every look
I ain't scared of scars no more
They the map to the life I swore
Now I face me with open grace
I let her speak I let her take space
No shame in the woman that I became
I rose from mirrors they tried to shame
I forgive the silence I forgive the rage
I forgive myself for every cage
Because now I see with higher sight
My shadow danced to birth this light
Not the fear but who I'm born to be
In the cracks I found my glow
She looked back at me and smiled this time
Not to hide but to show the climb
From child to queen a walk restored
I'm the reflection they can't ignore
To every woman who ever cried in the dark
To the little girl who only wanted to be heard
And the mirror still remembers your name
Not the fear but who I'm born to be
In the cracks I found my glow
What if the face you fear the most
