Me in the Mirror
The me in the mirror
Is dodging my own gaze
This is not the self I craved to raise
The fire in my chest still burns bright
My pulse is screaming for a fight
Unwilling to be trapped in the same old plight
To boil my youth down to a memory’s light
I refuse to live such an ordinary life
To bow to reality and lose my might
Even if I crash through the wall even if I’m bruised and strife
I will break free from this endless blight
I refuse to live such an ordinary life
To let my burning blood turn silent and trite
Roaring against the fate’s unyielding strife
To shine like a firework dazzling and bright
The wine glass glints with the dreams of my younger days
When we talked of the future stars twinkled in our gaze
Now we’re all caught up in the daily craze
Forgetting the wild fantasies that once ablaze
Wide awake in the dead of night tossing and turning
Asking myself if I’m ever gonna stop yearning
Is this how my whole life’s gonna be churning
Trapped in a well called “stability”endlessly adjourning
I refuse to live such an ordinary life
To bow to reality and lose my might
Even if I crash through the wall even if I’m bruised and strife
I will break free from this endless blight
I refuse to live such an ordinary life
To let my burning blood turn silent and trite
Roaring against the fate’s unyielding strife
To shine like a firework dazzling and bright
This time
I’m gonna live
For myself one last time
