Reflection (new me)
I’m lookin in the mirror
reminiscing I see how I’ve changed
I remember mornings in bed
frozen and not wanting to embrace the day
I remember hateful words and a curse
believing I’d always be stuck that way
I remember a boy walking in the shadows
Dreaming of the day he’d be free
I remember a table full of people
Telling me where I’d go next in my life
I remember a boy who was treated as a mute
Thinking of a target with only himself to shoot
I remember nights of tears,
I’ll never forget the days of endless horrors and dreadful fears
I embrace it take it in, it made me stronger
It made a brand new me
Now they mad because I stepped out the shadows
I took in the light
Don’t fully know where I’m headed
I just know the future’s bright
I’m sorry for the friend’s I’ve lost along the way
but I’m not sorry the old me is gone away
So if you really loved me
you’d want to be there for me again
If you knew my journey
you’d be glad to see me smile
After All these years
I found the one thing I didn’t have
the one thing I needed
I found me
For those saying Jay’s ACTING different
Life’s a Stage
I just no longer confuse the role I play
Although you try,
your words Can’t break me anymore
I’m done with the excuses
letting go of all the lies
This is me
A brave me
a free me
They tried to break me
didn’t expect me to find me
didn’t expect me to still be standing
didn’t expect me to look
in the mirror and be proud of who I see
they never expected me to smile at who I am
it took way to long to get to this mirror
And in my Reflection
I see A Man who conquered
I see A Man who won
A Brand New Me
