Poem
My parents were too busy drinking to help me to grow
I was moved around In foster care without anyone by the side of me
As a little boy I prayed my dad would finally start to inspire me
But I knew it wouldn't happen so I spent my time looking for a hero

The only way to heal a scar is to understand where you bleed from
So I was looking for a male role model, because I think every little boy needs one
It started off with The Undertaker, Kane and Stone Cold, I was sure I'd grow up to fight them
At age 7 I was obsessed with wrestling and wanted to be just like them

At 8 I heard Eminem for the first time and became instantly obsessed
He gave me a voice when I wasn't able to express
My walls covered in posters of him, you'd think I was Stan
Social workers said he was a bad role model, to me he was the greatest man

At 9 I started to listen to Ice Cube and instantly fell in love
It made me study Compton, and learn all about crips and bloods
I wasn't a wannabe gangsta just wanted to learn about what I was hearing
Hip-Hop became my family and lyrics became my parents

At 10 I brought my first Nas and Tupac albums and they never stopped playing 
I loved their knowledge and the messages they were portraying
I was too young to understand it all, but some of it I got
Looked at as weird because I was a white kid obsessed with Hip-Hop

At 11 I was obsessed with 50 Cent and wanted to be a member in G-Unit
I thought they'd accept me and my struggle when I told them I'd been through it
Isn't it funny how a complete stranger can have such an impact on you?
Some will understand this poem, while others will find it laughable

When Cristiano Ronaldo signed for Man Utd he was all I would talk about
I'd wear the same boots as him when I was playing football
Have the same haircut and wear similar outfits when I went out
All of these people made me feel a bit better when my parents didn't call

People may not understand this poem and may consider it weird
And ask "How can you care so much about someone who isn't there?"
They don't know me, But I want to thank all of them for their help
I spent my childhood looking for a hero, but it turns out I was looking for myself
