Growing up was not easy for me. I was always the odd piece of jigsaw puzzle that did not fit in the picture. I tried. But it was always never enough.
And then I heard you. Your words inspired me to rise above the occasion. To not be afraid of who I am. To hold on to what I believe in, even if the whole world is against me. To never give up without a fight. To stand up for what is right no matter what the circumstances and no matter who I’m up against. To rebel. To dream. To have courage in my convictions. To be myself even if it meant not conforming to the rules.
Life is never easy and never fair, and will sometimes let me down. But through the good times and the bad, I should never stop being true to myself, and being who and what I really am. And when times are especially bad, there is always a heaven above me.
So though we have never met, I feel that I’ve known you for a lifetime. Your words of wisdom, advice, encouragement, comfort and guidance speak to me through your songs. Today I am who I am partly because of you. And I am forever grateful.
Happy birthday Axl!
