Everybody has a Michael Jackson story. He died suddenly, shockingly, and hopefully went to a better place. Maybe God knew he had all the stress he could take. I feel compassion for the man and for his family.
His life was different from mine, but I do relate to him on the level of feeling different from people around you, expressing yourself, and being rejected as a result. We are all human, and all at least a little alike somewhere on the inside. I find inspiration in that.
Goodbye, Michael.
"Childhood" Written and composed by Michael Jackson.
Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for the world that I
Come from
'Cause I've been looking around
In the lost and found of my heart...
No one understands me
They view it as such strange eccentricities...
'Cause I keep kidding around
Like a child, but pardon me...
People say I'm not okay
'Cause I love such elementary things...
It's been my fate to compensate, for the
Childhood
I've never known...
Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
Like pirates and adventurous dreams,
Of conquest and kings on the throne...
Before you judge me, try hard to love me,
Look within your heart then ask,
Have you seen my Childhood?
People say I'm strange that way
'Cause I love such elementary things,
It's been my fate to compensate,
for the Childhood I've never known...
Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
Like fantastical stories to share
The dreams I would dare, watch me fly...
Before you judge me, try hard to love me.
The painful youth I've had
Have you seen my Childhood.
