He was quiet, he was teased, he was smart, and he was shy. He was questioned on his plans, he was questioned on his goals, and he did not reply. He grew up to have a family, spouse and kids. He was a very successful in life though he limited his words. He never spoke too much. His reserved being was only understood before his death. He said, 'I was king you know, I was king of my world and decider of my fate. I enjoyed my choice and regretted nothing. Yet, I did this all in respect to everyone around me. I spoke no words of arrogance, I spoke no words of hostility or hate. I spoke words of encouragement, love, and pursuit.' I believe he lived a life of purity. I believe it's possible to achieve success without harming others. I believe that, that which he could not understand is that which he would not speak. Those words better unsaid were not uttered. He overcame accepting others by accepting himself. I aspire to be like this man.
