Concrete rose


The path less taken is not always harder

But its the one i was sprinkled upon

You buried me with your dirty secrets

And showered me with endless doubts

From above i saw my light within

Giving me the chance to grow

As i grew bigger, my light got stronger 

Helping build my wall of thorns 

My rage is crimson as is my hope

until i finally break free

you no longer are my keeper 

Just the concrete cage of doubt

for i am now a rose
