Poem
Dear Marshall, I'm writing this knowing you don't know who I am You've heard it millions of times, You'd probably laugh and call me Stan But growing up, your music prevented me from committing suicide I just want to thank you cause your music saved my life 8 years old I heard you for the first time Not going to lie I only liked it cause of the swearing Too young to understand the genius way you made words rhyme I already had a connection because I also had issues with my parents The Eminem show was released when I was 10 and I got my hands on it Played it at full volume, Had so much admiration for the man on it Saying all the things I wasn't allowed and some I already related too Cleaning out my closet helped me to make it through Your words gave me strength to stand up to bullies and depression Ignored my teacher and spent school days just quoting your lyrics in my lessons Parents never picked up the phone to call me, instead they picked up harder liquor I was moved around foster families, and you were my father figure Walls covered in posters of you, Hood up with my middle finger up All I needed was your music so I didn't want to be approachable You showed me it's okay for guys to be angry, sad and emotional People told me you say a lot of wrong things, but I said they obviously don't listen enough It felt like you were writing about me in the third verse of sing for the moment You taught me to stand up for myself and tell the world to bring on the opponent I know care staff hated that I couldn't go a sentence without saying your name But you have such a talent for portraying your pain And most of what you talked about was relatable I didn't care if the care staff didn't find It favourable They couldn't see that your words were taking a lot of weight off this boys shoulders You taught me to be a bigger man and to not fall down like a toy soldier I know this is corny but your words and music saved my life They helped me through depression and prevented me from committing suicide If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be where I am Thank you Eminem, Sincerely one of your biggest fans
