Boys Do Cry

Chapter 4. "Donovan"

Donovan DeWaun Morton

Who is Donovan? I'm a boy that has been judged from left to right and around the corner. But the titles that people tagged me in were never the titles that described me.

I felt and feel like I'm a really misunderstood person but creative in a lot of ways.

When you're different (not sexuality) then everyone else people start to criticize hard and bluntly for change young or old.

When I was younger I was always around a lot of girls because I was the only boy that lived here in Mississippi and I was always protective over them.

Being that my father was not around and being raised by a single mom confused me of being a boy. I was looking for a male guidance something I didn't have at the time.

Now I'm blessed to have male figures and brothers in my life. Beyond Blessed.

Just being so young and being judged made me have fire in the inside to become something big one day. To say look at me now the little boy that overcame judgement and criticism.

Now I look forward to my future aspirations to become GREAT!...a great man, husband, dad, & person.
