standing out in a land that has little beauty,
surrounded by thorns,
scratching and abusing her...
she feels she has no-one to turn to,
locked in her own personal cage,
she constantly tries to break free,
but only learns that she bleeds,
shes in a prison, never to escape,
no-where to run, no-where to hide,
surrounded by cruelty and darkness,
she wishes she could die,
she cannot breathe,
she cannot see,
she cannot feel,
she cannot live,
she wants to die...

but she knows that she must survive..
..a rose in a concrete world..

So many thoughts pertaining to your poem. Concrete cracks into many lines and when those cracks happen plants grow thru and flourish. HOw? I don't know, but it happens. Little rose do not give up because the concrete will always be here but the beauty of a rose in bloom makes concrete pale anyday and no matter how bad things are right now they will get better.

Very touching poem.

Don't we all just feel sometimes that we fit nowhere and yet there is no choice but to keep pressing forward. I think you are at a juncture in your life. You keep writing girl, and you will find your path.

"Concrete Girl don't fall down into the broken world around you"
"Concrete Girl" - Switchfoot

this reminded me of that quote. You should look that song up... it's hope for another day. Awesome write, though sad.
