This poetry book is so good. Reading Tupac’s inner thoughts after idolizing him for so many years is quite scary, but also very remarkable. Every poem damn there makes me cry, but it’s so worth it. Getting to know him a bit more. Rest Easy my love✨

❥ The Rose That Grew From Concrete
Did u hear about the rose that grew from a crack
In concrete
Proving nature’s laws wrong it learned 2 walk
Without having feet
Funny it seems but by keeping its dreams
It learned 2 breathe fresh air
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
When no one else even cared!
Shoutout to @josthebibliomaniac for gifting this to me❤️🔥

❥ Make Me Rain
Poem (for Samuel H. Howard)
We are so proud
Of those who ran
And those who did not
Tell
Who was running
—
One day some of us would build
A home
A church
A school
A community
That we could celebrate

Nikki Giovanni also wrote the forward for Tupac’s book. I didn’t find out until I started reading them, of course. It felt, really good. Like I was meant to read them together. Mind you, I’ve have Make Me Rain for a while. Timing is really something🤷🏾♀️🥰
