I’ve hated this man. I’ve gone out of my way to tear him down. I’ve fed him lies & told him he wasn’t good enough and have allowed others to tell him he wasn't good enough. I’ve allowed him to be broken. I've allowed others to treat him disrespectfully. I’ve allowed him to run through brick walls & battle for others who won’t even stand up for him. I couldn’t and wouldn't stop individuals from abandoning him, yet I’ve seen him get up and stand to be a light to the world & love others despite all that. He has stood paralyzed by fear while he fought battles in his mind, heart and soul.
This man has screwed up many times, as a son, partner, dad, cousin, friend, Brother and leader because he doesn’t always say or do the "right things". He has secrets. He has scars...because he has a history that most can never understand or imagine.
Some people love this man, some like him, and some people don't care for him at all. He has done good in his life. He has done bad in his life. He is random and sometimes silly. He will not pretend to be someone he is not. He is who he is.
You can love him or not. But he loves you, and he will with his whole heart.
