Concrete Rose

A poem…

This pain been here so long 

I had to speak because my voice will not be silenced

I deserve to be here

No mater what you did to kill me

I rose from that grave thought you buried me

Hell I thought I lost too

Then I opened my eyes another day

I saw your face the shame 

I got a front row seat to watch you squirm

You thought I was dead and gone

I’m back and now I will conquer you 

The victory is staged

Not my idea, I just wanted to win

God gave me the game

He broke my heart to correct my vision

Did I mention he taught me to forgive

To see with eyes of compassion

You hated me and I showed mercy

I walked away in peace

No matter how bad I wanted war

I remained composed 

I turned my anger into passion 

For a life that I could be proud of 

All the while you waited for me to get my lick back

You was shocked when I did not retaliate

I put you on God’s plate

I let him handle my lightweight

    This poem is raw, powerful, and deeply moving. It carries the weight of pain honestly, yet transforms it into strength, faith, and quiet victory. The journey from being silenced and wounded to standing composed, choosing forgiveness over retaliation, is incredibly impactful. Your voice speaks resilience, spiritual growth, and hard-earned wisdom. The closing lines, especially placing the burden in God’s hands, leave a strong and peaceful resonance. This is not just a poem—it’s a testimony of survival and grace.

    Your words are truly from your heart. They make me think of the battles we face on a daily basis. The wars that go on with evil at their core seem to rage even when we know that God wins. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.

      Thanks, I’m trying to work through trauma. This is the only way I think because writing is how I’ve always dealt with it.

        God is the answer to all the tough things in life. He will help you in ways you can’t even imagine. Writing helps too.
