Can a Rose Cry?

Can a rose cry?
I think that it can.
I think it can hurt
And I think it can break.
I don't think you can see
But I think it can feel.
And I think it feels sad
And that makes it less pretty.

Can a rose cry?
I think that it might.
I think it puts up a wall
And I think it stays quiet.
I don't think you can see
But I think its colors are fake.
And if a rose is gray
Does that make it less pretty?

Can a rose cry?
I think maybe it should.
I think walls can fall down
And I think thorns can grow weak.
I don't think it should hide
And that's not my choice to make,
But I think a rose is a rose
And roses are pretty.
