A Champion Poem by Anthony Daniels

Oh how I wish I was immune to all of the negative things in life. Wish I could develop a hardened mind, body, heart and soul to protect me from the shards of glass that life fires at me from a giant cannon. To protect from all of the bullshit that people put me through as a black gay man.

Oh how I long to grow stronger as an individual so that I am able to face all of the obstacles and challenges that lie ahead. To overcome and achieve my grand reward and stand on top of the world laughing at all who said you can't do it. I will conquer your hate and foul slurs despite how difficult the task may appear. I will be the one to slay your dragon that was created by your own ignorance and break the mold to become a champion. No one will deny or doubt me ever again once I am a champion.
