Never Weak

He was born with these genes

That got him wearing tight jeans

And he didn’t have a choice by all means

Living differently with sexuality that leans

Towards another direction that caused scenes

Of him getting bullied on the daily which he didn’t get quite fully

Let’s flash back to the past

His life was on the line

Daddy left and Mom didn’t know if things will be fine

Born three months early

Life for him wasn’t guaranteed

What was the chance of his mortality?

Rushed to the hospital consistently

She had fears of his death constantly

Life for him wasn’t shown clearly

This was a routine throughout infancy

Not knowing if he’ll see the world’s beauty

A miracle happened to this spiritual individual

Who’s subliminally incredible

Surviving psoriasis at the age of four

Dealing with loneliness till the age of six

When the heavy dosage got him fixed

But that wasn’t the worse of his problems

“Faggot” was a name that they would call him

He’s different and he admits it

Pushed around but he tried to resist it

Living this life was his job but he was on the verge to just quit it

Dark thoughts of suicidal thoughts

Crying till his eyes suffered a drought

Dealing with judgments from people around him

Then demons began to surround him

It’s absurd but he didn’t go berserk

But it hurts to deal with death that was a first

A friend that left his life

Coping till the pain is gone

Hoping he’ll eventually be strong

Just though his book was about to end

He saw a light from a special friend

She was his savoir indeed

Now his chance of living was guaranteed

Met the love of his life in L.A.

Happy to find another who’s actually gay

Those times were his pinnacle of his story

Now he raises the bar for his fame and glory

He’s being accepted by friends

Eventually we became his family

He’s loving life as we speak

You better think thrice before you think that he’s weak.

[Equality is a word that’s only spoken about. But it’s rarely ever shown how. We’re all different in infinite ways. What good does it do when you put fear in people’s lives. Never judge a person for their race or sexuality. Walk in their shoes and maybe you can truly see reality. Ignorance is blasphemy. Think before you say, know before you judge. What you see is different from what you look at. Know this, we’re all born with gifts but it’s our choice if we want to open it.]
