A Green Rose In Cleveland

Green Roses do exist.
Let me tell you who I am with a significant twist.
I represent the beauty and war of a rose.
You can read that in the books and poems that I wrote.
But please make note.
I am the green rose and green is the color of growth.
It symbolizes renewal, rebirth and life.
I come from a heartless city I almost got killed twice.
My rose still got love in it, and I’m growing right out the concrete.
I grind and hustle every day, we call that repeat.
I haven’t even reached my peak.
But a lot people still listen when I speak.
Yet I still grow in the cold which a few people envy.
I don’t let that get to me it’s still money to be made in the city.
I told you who I Am without competing.
I simply told you a story of “A Green Rose in Cleveland”
