Concrete rose:

To you I still remain unseen
Silently hidden in shadow
Your eyes never linger long enough to catch a glimpse
Yet I am still here; beautiful

You pass by me everyday,
Yet never take the time to look
Only if you would stop; you’d surely be amazed

Long years I have spent here,
Struggling to survive
My determination strong,
My will unwavering; I will make it

Hopelessness I won’t allow to touch me,
Nor depression takes its hold
Nothing can make me give up;
I’ll never fold

For I’m the rarest piece of creation
A winner of the odds, I can’t be broken
Not by mortal or GOD.

Fore I’m the rose that grew from concrete and I shall prevail.

I'm a dying romantic and when i can no longer write i can no longer live -Jeremiah Johnson-

Tupac has a poem called Concrete Rose or something similar. Good write. Yes, I do remember you. E-mail me to let me know about where did you have your book published.

I speak insanity. I write fantasy. I sleep reality.

Will you allow me, just for a brief moment, to pretend that I share the same strength? Inspiring... and for me a bit haunting if I may say... your words are still echoing in my mind.
In short, I really liked this one!

No man is EVER worth my tears... and the only one who is will never make me cry.

I really liked how you were talking about a rose growing in concrete...It was very nicely done.

So no more hiding all your pain, you deserve a new start. That's why i'm closing myself away, this is a message from your heart.

i loved it very beautiful. I personally adore the way roses appear and when i imagine one actually forming from concrete i think it'd be a amazing sight. Good job. -Tara
