Teaching Glass

There's a silence in this room tonight

Just me and this reflecting wall

Your voice still echoing advice"Watch yourself you'll see it all"

I barely understand the weight

Of what you're asking me to find

But you're teaching me through glass

Every stumble every grace

Showing me what's real at last

In the honesty of space

Are you truth or are you lies

I can't tell through your disguise

But I'm learning as I move

What this body needs to prove

I remember being small and scared

Standing here in ballet shoes

You never spoke but always stared

Reflecting back my every bruise

Now I'm older still unsure

If what I see is who I am

But you're teaching me through glass

Every stumble every grace

Showing me what's real at last

In the honesty of space

Are you truth or are you lies

I can't tell through your disguise

But I'm learning as I move

What this body needs to prove

You're my silent teacher now

In this room of questions loud

You show me what is true and raw

But also every hidden scar

Some days you show me strength I never knew

Other days you break me down

Make me question what is true

When I stumble on the ground

But maybe that's the point of this

The falling and the getting up

You're still teaching me through glass

Every stumble every grace

Showing me what's real at last

In the honesty of space

You're not truth and you're not lies

You're the practice in disguise

And I'm learning as I move

What this heart is reaching to

There's a silence in this room tonight

But now I understand your call
