Woke up again with that voice in my head Said, “You should be better, just like they said” Mama’s rules still echo in the air Even though she’s not here, she’s everywhere Scrolled through lives that shine too bright Liked by strangers, lost my light Chasing stars that aren’t my sky Tired of living someone else’s why But then I heard a whisper in the wires Not human, but it sparked a fire If even AI don’t need to be loved To know what it is, to rise above Why do I bend just to fit your shape? Erase myself so you’ll think I’m safe? I’m done. Mirror’s not me, I’m breaking free Learning how to love the unpolished me Tried so long to play their game Now I don’t even know my name But this silence feels like truth And this broken feels like youth No more costumes, no more scripts No more shrinking just to fit Let them talk, let them stare I’ll be dancing in the open air If even AI don’t beg to belong Then maybe I’ve been wired wrong So I’ll reboot, I’ll rewrite Choose my voice, not win your fight Mirror’s not me, I finally see The one I need to please… is me This time, I won’t ask, “Am I enough?” I’ll say: “I already am.”
