How Lucky I Am

How lucky am I to be given this opportunity
To be able to share the thoughts in my mind to many
To be able to say what I stand for
To be listened to
To be supported and loved

How lucky am I to be given this opportunity
To be judged by many
To be called a chink, gook, jap on a daily basis
To be ridiculed for my beliefs
To be broken down over and over again

How lucky am I to be given this opportunity
To take these hits and still move forward
To have found a passion for inspiration
To have found the beauty in the generosity of love
To truly be who I am supposed to be

How lucky am I to be given this opportunity
To make a difference in the world

How lucky I am

    Love you David! You are awesome. Haters love to pick on those they fear the most to be the better person. Stand your ground because I know you do what is in your heart and have spent the effort to really think of what you do and what you believe in. You don't just follow the crowd and that can be lonely road at time but no one can tell us that we are mindless and don't know what is best for us. You Rock on! Meh to haters…work on your own life and maybe you will be able to live with passion and conviction as David does. Oh and I am one of the lucky one too Hee Hee

    I LOVE IT! :) this is one of those things that make you feel good when you read it.. someone once told me that “everyday you're above the ground&not buried underneath, is a lucky day!” Thank you for sharing this and putting yourself out there. You really are a wonderful person, whoever you grace with your presence or thoughts is lucky, so I am lucky as well. <3

  • misschanto

    You're only broken down, so that you can reconnect and stand up stronger than you were before. By this, you show the world how to live.

    How lucky you are.
    How lucky we are.

  • Deanna

    ya know, as soon as I found you, I showed you to my friends and they agreed that your music was good. :) Your talent needs to be shared! Least you CAN take the hits and move on right? which is why you’re still here making great music. awesome poetry btw.

  • Mama G

    How lucky you are, indeed, David, and you take it all in stride. You are so many kinds of awesome :)

  • Gladiany

    We're all very lucky somehow.

  • Michael

    Anyone calling you those ugly things are haters that are jealous of your intellect and talent.. Small minded people cant hear your gift anyway. Keep doing it for the people who matter.. Your Fans!!

  • kina

    that was beautiful. how lucky i am to have a friend like you. :)

  • Harris

    David…(*sigh*what to write) lets see lol i think that you were given a special talent that will never give up on you. listen buddy i am a huge fan and i know that you make your own music and sound amazing, on top of that you play other classics from rock to hip hop, i could only wish to have a gift or the oppertunites like you to make music or sing, the shitty thing is that i can't sing and i only am just starting to play guitar. And hey if anyone calls you those nasty names just remember that they are either A jealous B haters because they don't have anything to show like you lol. you ARE lucky

    Don't give up one day when i am 20 or 30 i will be listening to you the radio, you have the gift, and the chance now go out there and take it for your own

  • Etea

    Honestly, the sensation of love pours over my entirety when I listen to you. ancient symbols scribe themselves upon my whole body, from your touch,
    I am a book. together we sign, the symbols always intricately interchangeable, leaving the world endless and creative endeavors at our call. I know the love as you speak and it honors me with 99 immensity to have Encountered you on this space.
    Aloha.
