A petal is a petal

A road is a road

Then how come I am not you and you are not me

Why do I hide?

why do I fear my moves?

is it cause I fear your thoughts?

I dance to your beats 

I sing your tunes

Maybe a petal is not a petal

maybe a road is not a road

 

A yellow petal is not a red petal

but it is still a petal

A rocky road is not a smooth road

but it is a road

You are not me and I am not you

then why do I hide?

Why do I fear my moves?

I do fear your thoughts

You make me dance to your beats

you make me sing to your tunes

You take over a person's life

and make me just like you
