From the darkness on stage, a spotlight turned on, highlighting the two people sitting in stools while holding a microphone.

The music started and so I immediately focused my camera to him.

"Yeah, Yeah check it out
this place where all the feelings inside overcome me
Where is this place
Where did I leave them to clear themselves?

An exhaustion runs through me,
thoughts sting me with pain like the point of a needle..."

He's rapping... and every word came deep from him.

"...Who am I?
What is my dream?
For whom do I make these shining efforts?... "

Even before he could reach the top, a lot of people are already dragging him down.

He must've asked himself those questions before and even now.

Many people call him in unpleasant names because of the mistakes he did.

"...Many thoughts torture me
I beg them please don't plague me, please just let me be... "

It must've been hard for him.

People judging him with only the knowledge of his mistakes.

People cursing him because of his past.

A lot of people hate him because of the mistake he did.

"... I am like Gepetto who carves himself
whichever way I twist they spit at me... "

How can they judge, hate and curse him as if they have never done any mistakes before?

The camera I'm using to record a video slightly turned out of focus because of my trembling hands.

I'm just a fan but why am I feeling this overwhelming feelings right now? I don't know everything about him but my heart breaks in every pain his words contain.

It is really cruel.

Dragging a person, who is trying to reach his dreams, down is like cutting a caterpillar, who is on the verge of changing into a very beautiful butterfly, into pieces.

Now, many people are dragging him, wounding him, ruining his wings and I hope he'll stay strong...

"...whatever future you put before me, I focus on my path
I say I don't give a f*ck of what they say

whatever they say,
whatever they see,
whatever they hear

For just one day, one moment just leave me be
Begging thoughts like this creep up on me
Whispers that seem like nothing much..."

Flying is faster than walking, right?

But you can't fly with a damaged wings.

But you can walk.

It might be slow but you can still move forward to where your destination is.

It might be tiring but at least you're trying, instead of giving up.

"The moonlight behind the clouds whispers to me
The hushed calm tells me, it's alright
Small whispers that flutter across my heart
Oooohhh, yeah... "
