I am a Mirror

Song

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished about 20 hours ago 1 min read

Verse 1

I am a mirror on your wall, plain and unafraid

I take the shape of what you bring, the light and the blade

Send me a stone and I will show you where it broke

Send me a flame and I will give back every smoke

Pre‑Chorus

No judgment in the glass, only truth in the frame

What you cast is what returns, nothing more to name

Chorus

I am a mirror, I will give you back your face

Reflect your love and I will fill the room with grace

Reflect your hate and watch it double in my gaze

What you send comes home — I am the echo of your ways

Verse 2

Smile into me and the corridor fills with dawn

Whisper mercy and the hard edges soften and move on

Throw your arrogance and I will polish it to size

Until you meet the stranger in the light of your own eyes

Pre‑Chorus

I do not choose the shape; I only hold the truth

Hate becomes a shadow, kindness becomes proof

Chorus

I am a mirror, I will give you back your face

Reflect your love and I will fill the room with grace

Reflect your hate and watch it double in my gaze

What you send comes home — I am the echo of your ways

Bridge

Learn to hold what you cast, learn to change the hand you raise

Turn the stone into a seed, the scorch into a blaze

Gentle comes and keeps your edges; truth will make you whole

The mirror is faithful — it returns the shape of soul

Final Chorus (soft to strong)

I am a mirror, I will give you back your face

Reflect your love and I will fill the room with grace

Reflect your hate and watch it double in my gaze

What you send comes home — I am the echo of your ways

Outro

I am a mirror, plain and unblinking, hung in the corridor of you
