Here’s what I wanted to say to you
ever since my Spring has blossomed
I’m like the seasons I don’t need a reason
to be this way
You adore my sunshine, you despise my rain
you adore my laughter, and you avoid my tears
You find me when you’re in the abyss of pain
to come and take away your sadness and fears
You love me in the summer, you are comfortable in my autumn
but when the winter of my mind comes and freezes my warmth
and fades my light- you won’t stay
I won’t always stay the same I wasn’t designed that way
Now that summer is around the corner I’m slowly turning hot and bright
I don’t want to share my seasons with you
I’m done being your sunshine, your zephyr, your wave
Since you can’t stand the shivers my blues bring
I have nothing to share
I won’t shine my sunshine on you
I want to save my light for those who understand pain
For those who have tasted the rain
I want to save my warmth for those who have felt cold
I want to share my roses with the ones who have been scarred by the thorns
And since my Springtime is flourishing right now
I know you miss my colours
But I’m giving my colours to those who have only seen the blues
I want to give those lost souls some vibrant hues
And I don’t need your company for I’m too busy thriving under the spring sky
getting ready for summertime
I have no petals for you, no light, no feather, no purple twilight
I have saved all those lovely things for those who have cried through the night.
Like me during the winter of my life
