I looked in the mirror today, and no one looked back
perhaps i was blinded by the shortcomings of my life
i looked in the mirror today and couldn't see my reflection
maybe i was blindfolded by the man who said i was loser, a coward, and would never amount to nothin,
i looked in the mirror today and sae the same void i witnessed everyday,
maybe it was so i could not behold the monster i had became,
i looked in the mirror today and believed i would see something,
and i don't really know why because i never really believed in nothing,
i looked in the mirror today and saw chaos and destruction,
and wondered what do i deserve in this world i do not belong,
i looked in the mirror today and couldn't see the tears,
why am i blinded by shame?
why am i consumed by fear?
why do i continue to look into a mirror when no ones there?
i looked in the mirror today and i spoke, i spoke words i didn't want myself to hear
i spoke honestly what i had shared was sincere
i spoke to my soul before a deity with crimson eyes appeared
i was done feeling ashamed! i was finished being afraid!
i was tired of seeing nothing everyday!
in that mirror i saw Satan himself,
the same face i woke up everyday hoping to never see
the shameful dishonest fear inside of me
the evaporation of my hopes of making life what i want it to be.

To the man with crimson eyes i found i had nothing say
so i shattered the glass and i walked away

I looked in the mirror today, and i saw peace
