Why

Your lost yourself
          -Just Stop
You became what you tossed
heart covered by frost
you became what you feared
being alone,
            -You disappeared

You lost yourself
         -Just scream
soon you covered by darkness
swallowed by the lockness
soon life was just not worth living
you haven’t received what you’ve been giving

You lost yourself
          -Just Breathe
hold it. let it go
just stop asking why
remember a butterfly will fly
regardless of the storm nearby

You lost yourself
        -Just dream
the light will overpower the darkness
the love will kill the lockness
soon life will be giving
what you thought was not worth living

you lost yourself
           -Just Live
your heart will defrost
not everything will seem so lost
what you feared
being alone,
            -isn’t as severe

You lost yourself
        just stop
        just scream
        just breathe
       just dream
        just live

Butterfly, 
 regardless you will fly
       -Just don’t ask why.
