The Concrete Rose

They ask me
"What is it like to live in the hood?"
But I know better than to say anything 
Instead I point at the rose
that grows
In the concrete

And it is a window into the future
A life without pain
Without asking myself will I see tomorrow?
Or better yet, will tomorrow see me

At first they don't understand 
But I don't explain
I wait
And they all smile and say,
I get it now

And with this bare minimum of words
So much has been said
Just like the rose
I will grow 
Place my roots in the concrete, but grow

We all hope that we can be the rose
It's just a matter of survival
Knowing that beneath the concrete 
There is fertile soil
We just have to reach for it
Deep into the ground.

LEFT UNSEEN by kiapoetry_

"Can you hear me?" she asked. No one answered. "I'm right here." Silence. Not even a glance. She swallowed hard. "Do I even exist to you?" The room buzzed with voices, laughter, conversations weaving around her, but not with her. "Say something. Anything." Nothing. She let out a shaky breath. "Maybe if I disappear, you'll finally notice." Silence again. "Left Unseen" is the story of those unheard, unnoticed-of voices lost in the noise, of people who feel invisible even in a crowded room. If you've ever felt this way, this book is for you. #1 poetry

My Poetry by A_Shy_Person27

Words Best Left Unsaid by TheThingICallMyLife

Let's be honest. Some words are better left unsaid, these..these are my words that shouldn't have been said. Some of these I know are not perfect, but they are mine. My thoughts and pain I have been though, I will not apologize for speaking my truth. And I advise you don't either, it's what makes us who we are.
