I wish I could peel
these petals
encasing my heart
petal by petal
Then, from this
imposed darkness;
be r e v e a l e d,
and find out how it feels
to live with z e a l
Oh,
unfold my petals
and free me from this gloom...
Let me bloom
as those flowers do;
as carefree as they do--
with petals of blue,
filled with fragrance of youthOh,
please free
this withering me
Oh,
let me
sing into the breeze
