Forever Young { * Dedicated To Michael Jackson*}
{ Quick Note}: Today would've been Michael Jackson's 59th birthday however it feels as though that number wouldn't of truly define who he was. Michael really was Peter Pan and it was such a shame he couldn't of lived to be here. Well this piece is for him and no matter what you say I will always love him.
Happy birthday Michael Joesph Jackson
August 29, 1958 ~ June 25 2009
-------------------------------------------------
Aged in reverse as you were a man at five years old,
Performing at night clubs when you should've been at home playing outside like a regular kid or making friends instead of
working till sunrise, but I guess if you hadn't
You wouldn't of been so successful.
It all cost your childhood as they took it and sold for the fortune and fame.
And left you to deal with the torture and pain.
You didn't complain nor did you become a diva however all you ever wanted was to be left alone, find a special place to call home.
Your Neverland was your safe haven.
It was a place you could call home.
For you truly were Peter Pan in your heart and you dared to never grow up.
Loved so purely and so innocently,
tell me how could anyone like you survive in a world like this without getting torn apart for all they would want to do is eat your heart out and spit it out?.
The sad reality was you were too good for this world as they failed to see the beauty within your generosity and kindness and took it all for granted.
Forever shines bright like a diamond in the rough,
Forever a star that stays twinkling in the night,
Forever flawless like a red rose blossoming in spring,
Forever irreplaceable like something so fragile and valuable,
You're forever young.
Forever shines bright like a diamond in the rough,
Forever a star that stays twinkling in the night,
Forever flawless like a red rose blossoming in spring,
Forever irreplaceable like something so fragile and valuable,
You're forever young.
Forever shines bright like a diamond in the rough,
Forever a star that stays twinkling in the night,
Forever flawless like a red rose blossoming in spring,
Forever irreplaceable like something so fragile and valuable,
You're forever young.
With a child's heart you were easily taken advantage of as you were seen a target.
Left and right people wanted your money,
There was always a Captain Hook at every corner you turned.
Your friends became your enemies and your family were rarely ever there to lend a helping hand.
You had to rely on yourself and protect your children from everything that was hungry to get at them.
Everything you had to face,
Everything you were up against,
Tell me how you did it?.
Everything you been through made you beyond strong, it made you unbreakable.
No matter what anyone did or said about you managed to come out on top.
Taking a metaphorical middle finger to the press,
You knew in your heart you were innocent.
How can you be judged when you helped thousands of dying children, making them smile while showing them love and at the same time entertaining them?.
Tell me how can you be persecuted for saving one child's life who then grows up and tells about it later on in adulthood?.
They envied you and only wanted to make a good soul fall in turmoil.
They wanted you to fail but really you could never fail for you were the true king of music.
But most of all the king of our hearts.
Forever shines bright like a diamond in the rough,
Forever a star that stays twinkling in the night,
Forever flawless like a red rose blossoming in spring,
Forever irreplaceable like something so fragile and valuable,
You're forever young.
Forever shines bright like a diamond in the rough,
Forever a star that stays twinkling in the night,
Forever flawless like a red rose blossoming in spring,
Forever irreplaceable like something so fragile and valuable,
You're forever young.
Forever shines bright like a diamond in the rough,
Forever a star that stays twinkling in the night,
Forever flawless like a red rose blossoming in spring,
Forever irreplaceable like something so fragile and valuable,
You're forever young.
Happy birthday Michael Joesph Jackson

That is absolutely beautiful. I'm a huge fan of Northern Soul. He was exploited by b@stards who realised he was so vulnerable.

Thank you so much for being the first comment and reading and yes that is true. People used him and gained his trust and then finally sued him as much as they could for his money when all he did was help people and make them feel better :(

Great tribute to the king of pop. I really liked the references to his childhood and Peter pan - ' captain hook at every corner' is a great way to describe the problems he faced.
