I’m going to cry like a rose cries
i’m going to die like a rose dies
Being cut in half while some ignorant fool laughs
i’m going to cry like a rose.

I want to crawl like an animal crawls
all i want is to feel that life is beautiful
All the pain i feel won’t disappear i know i will always suffer
i’m going to die like an animal then my true self i shall discover

Why isn’t the rain falling down on me?
   i can hear somebodies voice calling me
Shall i wait and see if i can hear the voice again?
  maybe its just the voice of the falling rain.

I want to crawl like an animal crawls
i know i am one step closer to becoming invincible
Because the dead can’t die so let all my bodily functions fail
because all i will do is take a journey to one more hell.

I’m going to explore like a rose explores the universe
so much beauty only by the thawn is it cursed
You can kick me but don’t you pick me like a rose
because i want to grow like a rose grows.

I want to crawl like an animal on my hands and knees
because i am covered in life’s fatal disease
My tears like a river they do flow
why can’t i cry like a rose?.

uh, welcome, this sounds like a 'cry in the wilderness'  whom do you need to hear, someone out in cyberspace, or He Who has the Perfect Ear?

Much individuality in this that left me much to ponder.  Welcome!  

Not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
