lyrics

The grief, joy, gain, and struggling reconciling and the othering, interpretations of my heart and mind.
Happy memories are haunting,
greatest fears and doubts are daunting, each a reflection in the mirror I can find.
Plant the spark, harvest a fire, polish the mirror, burning desir.
Developing a new perspective,
practice loving what's been rejected,
judgements cloud the mirror and make me numb.
Is there strength and the endurance, to grasp the willingness and patience, to see my true reflection
and what i can become?
It's hard to love the image I see, but can I face it with clarity
Illusions can overwhelm me, I have to face it
to set them free.
Strength and endurance.
My true reflection beyond the judgements, my true reflection
Plant the spark, hate or admire, polish the mirror, detest or desire
Plant the spark, hate or admire, polish the mirror, detest or desire.
