The Rose That Grew From Concrete

This poem is about people realizing that their dreams can come true. Tupac wrote this poem because he had a dream to move away from his neighborhood and its problems. He wanted to start a new life. The rose symbolizes a new beginning. It takes time for the rose to grow through the concrete. People may not see the rose struggling to grow. Although it may take time for the rose to reach the surface, once it does, people will see its beauty. Like the rose, people should not give up until their dreams come true.
