Dear John,


I couldn’t admire you more.
You’re fighting to be free,
fighting this invisible fear,
traveling,
braving the wind
and triumphing over the rain.

Dear John,
it’s been such a long time,
since we were less afraid.



We’re writing to each other,
reminding each other both of us are still alive.
We’re champions in taking stock of ourselves,
trying to heal with every step and every written word.

This piece is about a great friend I consider a brother to me. Over the years, we have written each other and have gotten each other through very tough times. This is in honor of him and our friendship. Check him out. He’s a brilliant writer and person.

    In my own head and heart, it gets increasingly hard to believe such things of myself.

    To be touched by a voice that sees me kindly, especially in this world… that’s more precious than anyone can know.

      In this world, there are some meant to be leaders and speak for those who can’t speak for themselves. You are one of those people who speak for not just yourself but everyone else. You’re incredible my brother

    Beautiful poem to honour your friendship with John. It goes to show just how important it is to have someone in your corner for support to get you throw the tough times (and makes the fun times more enjoyable too).
