I wrote letters to myself asking for forgiveness
'Cause I would always neglect my own needs
To put above somebody else's illness.
So I started writing songs and poems
Describing and telling my own side of the story
But I never wanted to be covered in gold and glory.
All I ever wanted was to feel better
To inspire people and make them do better.
All I ever wanted was to find love and peace
And people will tell you
I've had too many lovers in my life
That's true, because I couldn't find one in myself
But now that I found it, I don't chase nobody else.
At the end of the day, I'm just a person
I'm only human and I'm still learning
I'm trying to achieve my dreams like everyone else.
The fear of never making it.
The fear of success in it.
And if I don't ever make it,
at least I can say that I've tried.
At least I can say I never gave up.
I can say I did everything I could in this life
And that I'm still proud of how far I've come
'Cause one of my biggest battles was never giving up on myself
But now that I've fought and won all the wars
I'm at peace and in love with who I am and who I was
And I just know the ink of my pen will remain, indelible
All of the things I wrote, they remain real and poetical.
And if I do make it, if I achieve my goals
I pray to feel enough
and to not doubt myself anymore.
I pray to be a better human than who I was.
Now that I've fought and won all the wars
I'm not scared anymore.
I'm ready to open new doors
'Cause this is my side of the story
But I hope it can inspire yours.
Sincerely, Michael.
