"We stand before you"
"We are The Ash Children"
"We have felt the fire in our veins. Understood what it was to be faceless, non-existent"
"We will never stop burning"
"We will never stop fighting"
"And we ask that you do the same"
"You may be the outcast"
"You may think there is only one way out"
"We know how you feel"
"We have felt the wrath and ruin of people. Known what it was like to be mauled and destroyed"
"But we never gave up"
"You cannot either"
"Hold onto that one thing that keeps you afloat"
"Whether it be your coping mechanism"
"Your disguise"
"Or your strength to be weak"
"The fire may never stop. You may continue to burn. Just like us."
"But you have the opportunity to rise from the ashes"
"We did"
"And we are still here. Here to tell you that it will hurt, it will take effort and you may have to crawl."
"But if you do, if you can make it through the toughest times"
"You can join us. Become one of us."
"You will be able to tell people . . . I am one of The Ash Children. I survived."
David Bowie
1947 - 2016
