I am the guy in a group of friends who has the unflattering, loud laugh with the occasional snort,

I am the guy who has too many pairs of shoes, bags and clothes yet never has anything to wear on a night out,

I am the guy who always stays sober when out with a group of girls because I was raised to always walk a girl home,

I am the voice on the end of the phone at 4am to a friend who’s having boy problems,

I am guy who gives up his last piece of candy because someone else will enjoy it more than I will,

I am the guy who would kill for the ones that he loves,

I am the guy who travelled the world for love,

I am the guy who adapted for his relationship,

I am the guy who believed that love conquered all,

I am the guy who was wrong,

I am the guy who has been broken to pieces more times in 24 years than most people have in a lifetime,

I am the guy who was lied to,

I am the guy who was abused,

I am the guy who was run-down,

I am the son who lost his dad,

I am the son who lost his stepdad,

I am the son who was there for his mother,

I am the guy who gave up everything for his relationship,

I am the guy who didn’t stop fighting for it,

I am the guy who was left alone,

I am the guy that changed,

I am the guy who learnt from his mistakes,

I am the guy who became independent,

I am the guy who had a choice,

I am the guy who made the right choice,

I am the guy who smiles when looking at how far he has come,

I am the guy who is now unstoppable,

I am not the guy you used to know,

I am reborn,

I am free.

Who are you?
