Show me the reflection of the true me

What was it going to take for me to see

That my hopes and dreams were in the reflection in front of me

I don't need a guy to "wow" me or make me feel good

As if the gas-lighting and fake show were not something I understood

I have been there before, and I refuse to do it again

Go ahead and call me whatever you want... but you won't win

Over and over again, my life choices have put me back at square one

A path that has proven to be exhausting and nearly not enough fun

Mark my words when I tell you, this will be my last road block

I am focused on building a life that will set me free of a time clock

No more feeling stuck or questioning my self

To build a life that is managed by the terms of my own wealth

So mirror mirror... when times get tough and I feel weak

Show me, myself and I... my own image to forever seek!
