but why july?
i didn't, i gave the truth
finally, my actions
is what i spoke through

but why july?
because i always stand up... for myself
except cancer, why else?

but life is red?
and death is black
which is why i cheated
opening, the diary from the back

but life is red?
only during pain
which is why i bleed
covered, in ruby rain

a diamond in the rough?
only scratches the surface
so don't bother with us
not even i, could dig deep enough

a diamond in the rough?
is that what she is?
yet ruby, is special enough
for just one kiss

but cancer kills?
and be grateful it does
the price to live a leader
the rest, just because

but cancer kills?
and the rest give life
for this is my birthstone
born, on the 8th of July.
