I’ve been running laps in the same four walls Fixing things before they even fall Quiet wins that no one ever names Just another day inside the same old frame They say “that’s your role” like it’s set in stone Like I don’t see more than what I’m shown I built a case, wrote it black and white Still got told I wasn’t reading it right So I shrank a little just to fit the space Second-guessed every move I made If I’m the one they always call Why do I feel invisible at all? Maybe it was the mirror, not my face Maybe I was never out of place Maybe I was standing in the wrong room Trying to prove something I didn’t have to Now I see it clear in a different light They said “we want you” — no need to fight All that doubt just fell away Guess I was right… just in the wrong place They’d say “why’d they go to you instead?” Like the answer wasn’t already said I just showed up and I did the work Didn’t need permission to make things work Fast replies, no second guess Saw the problem, didn’t make a mess They’d slow it down, check it twice I just solved it and moved on with life But it got loud inside my head Every time they cut me down instead If I’m the one they all rely on Why do I feel like I don’t belong? Maybe it was the mirror, not my face Maybe I was never out of place Maybe I was standing in the wrong room Trying to prove something I didn’t have to Now I see it clear in a different light They said “we want you” — no need to fight All that doubt just fell away Guess I was right… just in the wrong place Funny how the world shifts overnight Same me — just a different sight Didn’t change, didn’t fake it through Just found a place that finally knew They didn’t ask me to explain Didn’t make me prove it again Just said “this is what you’re worth” And meant it without a single word Yeah it was the mirror, not my face I was never meant to shrink that way I was standing in the wrong room Trying to earn something I already proved Now I walk in and I don’t wait No more asking what I’m worth today All that noise just fades away I was right… just in the wrong place
