THE GIFT OF THE MEMORIES OF CHILDHOOD WAS NEVER AROUND
THE LOVE THAT HE CRAVED FOR WAS THERE-BUT COULD NEVER BE FOUND
FROZEN IN TIME LIKE A FOSSILISED BONE
HE MOVED AND LIVED IN A WORLD OF HIS OWN
AND SAFELY INSIDE IT HE LIVED ALL ALONE LIKE A CLOWN
NO BYCYCLE RIDES IN THE STREET WITH A FRIEND
NOWHERE TO MOVE OR PLACES HE COULD'NT BE FOUND
CAUGHT IN A WEB OF A DAILY ROUTINE
DENIED ALL THE LIVING THAT HE SHOULD HAVE SEEN
FEARING ALL DAY THAT HIS BEANSTALK WAS GONNA FALL DOWN
HIGH IN THE SKY IN A REAL NEVERLAND HE WAS FINE
LIVING A DREAM THAT WOULD NEVER COME TRUE
BUILDING A CHILDHOOD THAT HE NEVER KNEW
SETTING HIS CLOCKS SO THE HANDS WENT THE WRONG WAY ROUND
TIED TO A ROCKING HORSE POWERED BY RUMOUR AND PRAISE
JESTERS AND FOOLS ALWAYS FIRST TO RESPOND
BARTER AND BARGAIN FOR ALL THAT HE OWNED
AS SOON AS THEY HEARD THAT THE BEANSTALK WAS DOWN
YOUR STAR HAS GONE OUT BUT CONTINUES TO SHINE
IN THE MAGICAL MOVEMENTS THAT YOU LEFT BEHIND
FAREWELL PETER PAN
WE ARE THE RICHER FOR YOU BEING AROUND
FARE WELL
Paris i hope we can become friends. we are near the same age. id love to meet you. youre father was as special as you think .dont let anyone tell you that youre dad was a bad man. he just went through some bad things. well got to go. well meet one day.
i never appreciated michael like he should of been. and im sorry for that. im sorry for his family that had to and still has to go through the lies that people have siad about michael. a boy i know siad he was only a michael fan for his music. i told him he should be a michael fan for him. well its his loss right. well i had a whole blog but it got erased somehow. it was all detailed about how rough of a childhood i went through and how a 13 year old girl should never go through what i have and are going through. i even said how that when i become a singer i will write a whole record dedicated to michael jackson. but for now its school. i even did a project based on michael. my bros the model type. im the singer type. thats just what i do. sure i could be a model but then i wouldnt be able to express my feelings into song. and plus all of my songs will come from experience, not because the record producers tell me to do something. but ill give them what they want.i already have a million songs written. but this isnt about me its about how little michael was appreciated for what he did. he brought pop music alive for the world. i stayed up crying so long i swear i should of started drinking coffee. this isnt a joke though. this is serious. whoever will hopefully read this i hope you are not to bored. time to end this.
p.s. people should stop saying that michael will be remembered. he is still here. watching over us.ill see you in heaven michael. and god bless youre children.i wish to meet you all one day.
I am back again to write about Michael Jackson. See i realized that the only way to let go of someone is to greive and for me writting is the best way for me. You know I would love to write to his mother and his children but like thousands of others I am not sure if they would actually get it. For his family my heart pours out for them. His children my love and prayers will be with them always. For they will have to bear the hard and long road ahead of them without their father. He will not be here to sheild them for what they world has in store for them. We know the MEDIA will not let them live a normal life. They may wait for a few years before they begin to hound them as they did their father. I just hope that from now until than the rest of the jackson family teaches them what to believe when they read horrible stories about their father and we know they will do research in time. They are going to what to see what people have said about their father and to see videos of his tours listen to interviews and from all that I hope they will always remember who he was when he was with them. I am jealous of the life i never got to see about him because the media and the books is the closest many will ever have.
Honestly I wish that Elizabeth Taylor would write her a book about the special friendship that they shared. She has so much to tell us about him that we know would be the honest truth about the inner part of Michael Jackson.Watching videos of them too together is great. They are always having fun. I am sure that both of them had so much to talk about. Their lives where alot alike..He loved her with all his soul and with every part of him with out question. Elizabeth Taylor and his children meant the world to him. She has stuck by his side threw all his ups and downs and for that I am thankful for what she did for him.
Katherine Jackson was his mother who loved her son with out a doubt. As the years have gone past he seemed to turn to his mother for strenght and for support.Michael always knew no matter what was going on in his life his mother would be by his side no questions asked.
For the people that lived with him like Bobby Jones i am so disappointed that not one of them really tried to help him. All the seem to see about Michael was the dollar signs. Someone should of said NO to him and followed up with the help he needed. Yeah Michael was a force to recken with but he could of been wreckened with and honestly he would of thanked them in the end.
I read a book that Bobby Jones wrote about Michael and i was so hurt and disappointed in the book. For some of the things he said was going on that he said he say he should of been a shamed of himself for saying.
Like i mention before I have become very obessed with the truth about Michael Jackson since his passing and I guess this page gives me a place to say what is on my mind and what I am feeling toward people not just Michael Jackson himself..
Today I heard his new single >>THIS IS IT song it is beautiful. Michael still had it in him to be the best and he would of made the greatest come back ever..To bad they tricked him into doing so many concerts. I beleive if it was just the ten he would of not need the any help sleeping and he would not had so much stress..I can't wait to go and see his new movie. I bought my tickets the very first day they came out. Yes I was up at midnight to get those tickets..
If there is a way for me to make sure that if I wrote a heart felt letter to Mrs. Jackson and to the three children that they would get it .. any advice would be appreciated. Until then I will be writting on this page...
First of all let me begin by saying I am truly sorry that such a great human being is gone..Now if you don't mind reading my little story than continue on. I must confuse since the passing of MJ i have become more obessed with his life than i can imagine. Every day i have do more and more research on him. I have listen and watched mutlply videos, interviews,bought books on his life and even pulled up old articles on him..I can't believe how we as americans turned our backs on him. Everyother country loved him unconditional except his own..And for that I am sorry and at the same time I am thankful for all the other countries for showing him unconditional love. I want people to read the book called MIchael Jackson consparicy by Aphodite Jones than print and read the article from 1994 in GQ.
If you thought he was guilty of child molestation after reading them both you realize how much they both are alike and threw both stories you will realize that he was an Innocent man with greedy people out to get what they can from him..Everyone says MJ paid Jordie Chandler boo koo bucks but guess what it didn't come from MJ it came from an Insurance Group. MJ wanted to fight the Jordie Chandler case in court but advisors and the insurance company both said no..Now after MJ has pasted you can find stories on Jordie Chandler admitting he lied and it was all his father doing..Than in 2005 Jordie Chandler tried to Kill his own son for what the money that he gained for his son... June CHandler never beleived that MJ did anything to her son so why did we. I wish that people would realize that all he wanted was to be normal just like you and me...
CHeck out some of his home videos especially the one with Elizabeth Taylor and Mack..Check out the years and truly see how much he was a child at heart. Is first christmas he was 32 years old, his water balloon fights, his making of Black and White with the pie throwing.. He was a child in a grown mans body...He was Peter Pan , Elizabeth was Wendy and Mack was just one the little boys that loved fun.
God there is so much about MJ that we never knew. I am so amazed on how we treated him and we made his life the way it was. Why because no one took the time to find out the person inside all we say was what was outside. I have to say that I missed out on a lot about MJ threw his life.He was one beautiful man and we never let him feel that about himself.. People say he changed his appearance they reason first is his skin dease but also I beleive he was trying to find himself. He could never be pleased about himself because our MEDIA wouldn't let him.And for that I am sorry...
I beleive that MJ's true accomplishment wasnt just his music but being a father..Those three children loved him unconditionally and he loved them with all of himself..HE adored them I am sorry for those children but I am more sorry that MJ will no longer be here to guide them threw life..But we all know MJ is watching over them......MJ is there special Angel in life..I need to move on with life because MJ has taken abig part of me with him..I wish we could turn the clock back just for a minute to make his world a better place as MJ tried to make our world a better place... Rest in Peace Michael Jackson..
