Shattered Mirrors

[Chorus] In a world of shattered glass, I'm fighting my reflections, Each piece a tale of pain, a fragment of dejection. The more I try to heal, the more I seem to fracture, Caught in a cycle of despair, seeking a rapture. [Verse 1] Grew up with cracked walls, graffiti-scarred and weathered, Each scribble on the block was a cry we penned together. Alleyways of broken dreams, where echoes tell the tales, Of shattered youths and shattered truths, as hope just barely prevails. [Chorus] In a world of shattered glass, I'm fighting my reflections, Each piece a tale of pain, a fragment of dejection. The more I try to heal, the more I seem to fracture, Caught in a cycle of despair, seeking a rapture. [Verse 2] Climbed my way through rhymes, each bar a stepping stone, From the streets to the mic, from the unknown to the known. Fame’s a double-edged sword, it cuts you as you wield, The more you gain, the more the pain, the less you are concealed. [Bridge] What’s real if all I see are illusions in the mirror? Success and failures intertwined, the lines just get no clearer. Is the struggle worth the strain, or is the strain the actual fight? In the reflection of my pain, I search for some light. [Verse 3] Now I embrace the chaos, each shard tells where I've been, Accepting all my flaws, the losses and the win. Breaking through the barriers, my soul no longer caged, In the mirror’s broken pieces, I see myself engaged. [Chorus] In a world of shattered glass, I'm fighting my reflections, Each piece a tale of pain, a fragment of dejection. The more I try to heal, the more I seem to fracture, Caught in a cycle of despair, now finding my capture. [Outro] So here I stand amidst the shards, a mosaic yet complete, In every broken piece of glass, my fears and hopes meet. No longer just surviving, but living out the dream, In the shattered mirror’s story, I finally redeem.
