As To Why

Do you believe in being alone 
Well I don't 
Not since the day I was taken to the hospital for "safe recuperation" 
The very place that gave me a philosophical concentration
Now It's a clear day of sunshine skies
I am no longer blind
I have butterflies lifting me to flight
I've regained my will and might
Though my mind subconsciously wanders to paranoid contemplation
The thought of harm done to my treasures from strangers or even a friend
It's because I'm trying to protect 
Those whom I love with no regret
She and he and they
The people I'd never betray
I refuse surrender to the shadows that my mind was once kept
I can't disappoint the people that changed me into 
a lion from a mouse
She's my fire that burns from within
Finally I can start anew and begin
To pick myself back up from these gutters
Thanks to those butterflies that flutter
I'm her knight and shining armor 
I'll never let anyone touch her let alone harm her
That's how I keep pushing myself
It's because I have someone else
To love and to hold 
That gives me the strength to always be bold
As pure as flying dove 
I've got true love
