Tell Me Why
Tell me why
Why you sit in the shadows
When the light is right in front of you
Why you choose to fade away
When you can shine
Brighter than the stars in the sky
Why you wither away
When you can bloom
And stay beautiful like the rose flower in my garden
Tell me why
Why you choose to hide your true self
Just to fit into the ideology of another
Tell me why
Why you hunger for toxic pills
Pills that steal your youth and innocence
Tell me why
Why you choose to be lost
When you can be found and safe
Tell me why
I’m trying not to cry
Cos’ I see waste
A pretty flower
Hidden behind dark curtains
A pretty flower in torment
A beautiful flower you are
Yet you choose not to bloom
Please, tell me why!
