I gave you every version of me even the ones I swore I'd never show You watched me fracture quietly then ask why I was hollow I wore your guilt like a second skin, tried to bleed it out in every line But the more I screamed for clarity, the more you blurred the signs I was your mirror, cracked and fading You loved me most when I was breaking I'm not your mother, not your cure Not the voice you silence to feel pure I burned down trying to be brave Now there's no one left to save You want the ashes not the flame But I won't die just to stay tame You called it love, I called it war Every hug a hidden score I stitched your name into my spine Now I can't stand without the lie I beg for space, you gave me chains Said healing meant enduring pain But I'm not your canvas, not your muse I'm the wreckage you refused I build a shrine from every scar Lit it up like a dying star You prayed for peace, I prayed for air But you were never really there I'm not your mother, not your cure Not the voice you silence to feel pure I burned down trying to be brave Now there's no one left to save You want the ashes not the flame But I won't die just to stay tame I won't die just to stay tame
