Should Know Before You Go

It seems so meaningless

you know I could just die.

Cut my vein in two and

bid my perfect life goodbye.

But then a petal speaks to me -

in springtime I come to life.

So before you go, you should know,

sweet raindrops keep me alive.

A butterfly sings softly -

what you miss to feel, for me is divine.

So before you go, you should know,

I steal my breaths from the sunshine.

A beggar stares with pity -

to honour my needs, my honour I sell.

So before you go, you should know,

your unwanted waste is on what I dwell.

Silence, explains in silence -

in stillness is where I persist.

So before you go, you should know,

I'm nothing and yet I exist.

With raindrops and sunshine

and the universe by my side

before I cut my life in two

someone give me a reason to die.
