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!
