The Rose That Grew From Concrete

For my poetry book I read a collection of poems Tupac wrote. This collection focuses on his feelings toward society, other humans, and his feelings that people may not know he felt. Many people probably assume that Tupac was just a rapper who did bad things (based on some of his songs) but if you actually take the time to read some of his poetry you'll find that he has a sweet side just like everyone else and his poems are well thoughtout. He dedicates his poems from everyone from his own mother, to Nelson Mandela. Tupac does uses alot of metaphors in his poems, for example, in the first poem "The Rose That Grew From Concrete", he is comparing himself to a rose that grew from concrete, or in other words, a human that made himself something out of nothing.
