The angelic voice in my head, tells me to do.

She's always been the sunlight in my darkness, even though she's not with me anymore.

I can't do it anymore.

it gets harder

Every. Fucking. Day

And I don't know, how much longer I can handle.

It's hard to wait around for something you know might never happen, but it's harder to give up when you know it's everything you want.

I was slowly going deeper and deeper into the darkness.

Until they came in, are they  the sign?

The sign I should keep going, or give up...

And end it all

"In the poem "The Rose That Grew from Concrete" by Tupac Shakur, the poem represents the ways that someone can become something great coming from a place that's not recognized as great. In this poem, he uses a rose, something that's recognized as beautiful, even with its imperfections. Roses are a symbol of beauty and love, but it's also taken with caution because of its thorns. The rose correlates with people, and how beautiful people are, and how even in our imperfections we can be loved. Being that the rose grew from concrete something hard and that has no nourishment, manmade cement, and not really appreciated, a thing that people walk all over and don't really take care to appreciate that it's there. The concrete represents the ghetto or any place that's looked at as a place that has nothing good to come out of it."
