    If beautiful was printed from a negative it would be the silhouette of a rose
    Because roses are sculpted from the hands of immorality
    Breathed from the marble no one saw as a flower
    Every petal flaunts the gorgeous of galaxies
    Positively Divine
    The eyes of roses are ocean deep and sky blue
    They see life the way we’re supposed to live
    Balanced in duality, Life and Death
    A marriage with as many anniversaries as time
    The two need to become one so fear may bloom into confidence
    A rose might be one of the few things to achieve perfection on earth the way its attraction reflects the heavens
    The way it’s smile ages like the innocence of a child until its aroma becomes the wine from 35′
    The way it freezes death into a Picasso Dali Esque piece of painted poetry
    A rose understands the heartbeat of death and the silence of life in humility
    That’s why they are used during and after life
    Have you ever seen such grace command hell ?
    Roses make the marble soft, the concrete cry, and anxiety strong
    And that is why I say, “you remind me of a rose, an absolute rose.” (Daisy Buchanan)
    You are and can be everything you want to achieve
    p.s. it’s never too late to sculpt your rose…

    This quote from The Great Gatsby has inspired me since my high school years. As a passionate admirer of flowers, particularly roses, I aspire to embody the metaphor of sculpting my rose from concrete. Life presents various challenges, and I have faced significant mental health hurdles along the way. However, this quote serves as a powerful reminder to embrace the strength that can emerge from pain and success. I am committed to personal growth and believe in my capacity to improve each day. That is what I wish to communicate in this poem and inspire others on their own journey.

    • As an English teacher, I love The Great Gatsby. It is too bad that none of the characters (other than Gatbsy, in my opinion) were particularly “rosy” themselves. You are so right that you can achieve what you set your mind to with determination, grit, and commitment. Roses are so much more beautiful when they push through concrete. Thank you for sharing your experience!

      • Yes, life is less about finding happiness but more about pushing the boundaries to discover gratitude within the places you wouldn’t have looked. Thank you for taking time to read this piece!
