This mirror is deceitful, in my reflection I see you
My mother's words keep telling me "you won't see this through"
Since they cut the cord, the connection between us two
All I've felt is crushing judgement in all the things I do
This feeling isn't normal, one more footstep; I'm in the wrong
Shrewd lies are what you told me mother, yet I believed you all along
Trusted, you lead me blindly while you're dominant and strong
One more lie and it will be over
I've swallowed your medicine far too long
Ridicule and mockery, each label fit to use
You keep frowning at me mother, what is your excuse?
I'm not the perfect model for you to place upon your shelf
My hair is untidy, my clothes don't fit right.
"Keep your shoulders back, chin up and for god sake keep out of sight"
Flattened in the debris of our broken home
You'll find me head bowed in false respect for now I am alone
She always made me feel like I was mediocre
While in the dark I heard her whisper her one last judgement on me
Eyelashes stuck together, her breath kept in my sight
With every ounce left of herself she shunned for me the very last time
I remain alone.
