MIRROR OF WAR

The mirror is a battlefield
Where I lose every day
I measure my worth in numbers
That are never enough, never would be

It's not vanity, it's survival
In a war no one declared
My body became territory
That society colonized

Mirror of war
A reflection that's never enough
I control what's left
In a hunger that isn't for food, it's for belonging
Mirror of war
I fight against what I see
But the enemy lives inside
And I am the only siege

Counting like a prayer
A ritual that promises control
But the tighter I pull the reins
The more the body screams and bends

It's not about food, it's about a body that isn't mine
Every number on the scale is a verdict someone else wrote

Mirror of war
A reflection that's never enough
I control what's left
In a hunger that isn't for food, it's for belonging
Mirror of war
I fight against what I see
But the enemy lives inside
And I am the only siege

And the mirror keeps lying
About who I'm supposed to be
