In the mirror the gaze that meets me
A stranger's eyes a façade so sweetly
I change the surface hoping they'll see
But the pain inside it still beats discreetly
If only I could love myself embrace the soul within
The world's harsh words wouldn't cut so deep wouldn't wear my patience thin
If only acceptance was the norm not judgment's cruel spin
I'd stand tall in my true form let the healing begin
The world's a stage with critics so bold
Their words like chains their stares so cold
I dress the part play roles that are sold
But the inner me remains untold
Cages of words bars made of phrases
Trapped by the shoulds through life's many phases
But it's time to break free from these judgmental gazes
To be who I am as my own heart appraises
If only I could love myself in the world's unkind game
Where words are thrown like daggers and many feel the same
If only we could see the hurt the power in a name
We'd choose kindness we'd choose love and end this cycle of blame
So I'll rise above the noise the critics and the sneers
Embracing all my flaws through the doubts and fears
For the key to my cage lies in my own hands
To unlock my spirit

In the mirror the gaze that meets me
A stranger's eyes a façade so sweetly
I change the surface hoping they'll see
But the pain inside it still beats discreetly
If only I could love myself embrace the soul within
The world's harsh words wouldn't cut so deep wouldn't wear my patience thin
If only acceptance was the norm not judgment's cruel spin
I'd stand tall in my true form let the healing begin
The world's a stage with critics so bold
Their words like chains their stares so cold
I dress the part play roles that are sold
But the inner me remains untold
Cages of words bars made of phrases
Trapped by the shoulds through life's many phases
But it's time to break free from these judgmental gazes
To be who I am as my own heart appraises
If only I could love myself in the world's unkind game
Where words are thrown like daggers and many feel the same
If only we could see the hurt the power in a name
We'd choose kindness we'd choose love and end this cycle of blame
So I'll rise above the noise the critics and the sneers
Embracing all my flaws through the doubts and fears
For the key to my cage lies in my own hands
To unlock my spirit
A stranger's eyes a façade so sweetly
