The Concrete Rose
The first thing that comes to my mind with this poem is that it only takes proving someone wrong to make a major difference. What I mean by this is that how many stories people tell us about obstacles in life. We always hear the same stories people telling others they can't do it, they are not capable of something or hear about people giving up. This poem focuses on that message.
One of the many stories I hear is that people give up after they graduate. There is always different reasons, many say "I can't afford it" some say "I don't have a SS#" or some simply say that "college is not for me". What they don't really see is that they have many opportunities and still decide to give up. Many people come from families who are poor and think that their lives have to be like theirs forever; but it takes a little change to make a difference in life or at least in your life. This poem's idea can influence people by their message really easy, because the main idea is obvious. The flower grows in a place no one knew it was possible, and prove even people wrong just as we can.
Many people think that because someone says they can't do it, they really can't and decide or make the mistake to give up. Not because some one's not there to believe in you, you have to stop believing in yourself. I might not know what real life is out there, but I know that if I want something in life I am to fight for it and all I need is to believe in myself; family and all is always helpful but if they are the one's not believing in you, you are on your own.
For example in the quote "Proving nature's law wrong, it learned to walk without feet" is a perfect example. Meaning you are not always going to have someone by your side telling you, "this is good" or "this is bad" you are to know what's good and bad, and the path you are taking. Relieving you are now on your own is what this quote is about or at least how I think of it. All it takes is proving someone wrong just like the rose did, and maybe is yourself who you need to prove wrong. "Funny it seems, but by its dreams, it learned to breath fresh air". If you keep your dreams and stick to them, you'll learn how to take the path to accomplish everything that you want in life.
The last quote of the poem tells me that the main message of the poem is that it does not matter if you make a difference in others lives, all that it matters is that you made a change in yours by keeping your dreams and proving someone else wrong if they don't care. "Long live the rose that grew from the concrete when no one else even cared".
The message or the after all lesson of this poem is that it only takes to prove someone wrong to make a difference in life, it does not matter if to them was something but you'll now that you at least changed your world. The way people see the world is something huge, they don't think words have an impact in people's life but reality is you tell someone they can't and they are either going to prove you wrong or give up. The impact is yours, you don't need someone to tell you that's impossible just how they thought the rose growing from the concrete was, you prove them wrong or right; it's your decision. The only way you'll prove others wrong is by keeping your dreams just like this poem says it.
