gone too soon....

It was very evident that during my childhood days, I was a fanatic of Michael Jackson. His moves were amazing that I tried to copy him so hard during my younger days. It is still a vivid memory for me how my tito's and tita's asked me to perform for them during my 4th birthday. I was not ashamed at all as I danced one of his hit "Beat it" from his thriller album. I wasn't able to do the moonwalk though.. but it was fun. Until I've grown listening to his hits. I never bought any of his albums but I see to it that I am updated with his new hits.




I even remember envying my classmates who were able to watch his one-night-only concert in manila during the 90's. Fascinated with his sad songs, "Childhood", "gone too soon", "She's out of my life", and "you are not alone", I used to borrow my sister's "song hits" and scan its pages and practice these songs.

Just last year, I downloaded his songs to my iPod to relive the memories of childhood and my early teenage years. His Album "thriller" celebrated it's 25th year after its release.

And to my surprise, last thursday, June 25, The King of Pop passed away at the only age of 50. It is not yet clear the reason for his passing but the world was shocked with this very sad news....

MJ, you are indeed an inspiration to many.. Some mocked you, tried to pull you down... but you stood and recovered.. you fought well from the battle you were in that anyone could ever imagine.. I looked up to you...

I wished you peace from the after life as you are now in a much happier place..... As Mariah Said, your star will shine forever... you are indeed, the real Peter Pan..

Childhood

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 in 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....
