Like the seasons
Changes come and go
The metamorphosis
Of taking things slow

I feel so small
In this big world I share
Gradually changing
Life’s to much to bare

The same things said
All I hear are lies
Floating up above
These ugly butterflies

They tear at me
And eat away my soul
My heart surrounded
I lose all self control

Running at light-speed
But still losing the race
Trying hard to fail
While keeping my place

In this messed up world
Without honesty
I’m meant to be alone
This I do decree

Better to die, and sleep
The never-waking sleep, than linger on
And dare to live when the souls life is gone.

A few changes could be made, my thoughts.

Like the seasons
change comes and goes
or the metamorphosis
of taking things too slow

I feel so small
in this big world I spare
changing gradually
life is too much to bare

I listen to the things said
and all I hear are lies
floating on the wind above
like ugly butterflies

They tear at me
And eat away my soul
as my heart beats loudly
I lose all self control

Running at light-speed
But still losing the race
Trying hard NOT to fail
While keeping my place

The world is so messed up
with lies I don't condone
I wish that I would meet you
So I wouldn't have to be alone

(last stanza - like a wish, maybe)
