2.35 You killed your son
A young boy went down in flames and ashes, it was a conscious choice to kill him,
His death however was not in vain for a strong man emerged from the fallen ashes,
Transition from boy to man in a flicker of an eyelid, a flash of a moment, complete.
My father gave me my name. When he took his life, I decided to kill his son,
Given name stripped away, outlook, personality and all that I used to be now gone,
Killing myself to re-emerge was a decision I can never and will never look back on with regret.
My body remains complete, but I have changed who I am in every aspect and every way,
There was nothing wrong with Jamie, but he was my dad's son and simply had to go,
His place in the world was lost as he sunk into the shadows as Jimi emerged strong.
Now I miss his father but, I stand as an island, complete, independent, invincible,
Nothing can shake or deter me now, only new strengths can be found and built upon,
Do not judge me for my pain and my past, I am a new man, my life began 15 years late.
Sympathies no longer required, help no longer sought, on a new path free from pain I stand.
Stand by me, celebrate the man that was born and not the child that died with his dad,
My life will continue to develop and change, stand with me and become a part of this.
