Declaration for My Son
By Mikey Galván
My son…
You were never born to fit in cages.
You weren’t made for borrowed dreams,
for debt disguised as destiny,
or for systems that sell you comfort while stealing your crown.
You are not property.
You are promise.
Not a citizen of captivity—
but a heir of freedom.
So I declare this now—
before the world tries to rename you,
before they try to shrink you into silence:
You will inherit truth,
not tradition wrapped in fear.
You will inherit sovereignty,
not servanthood to a system that feeds on your ignorance.
You will inherit options,
because your father chose the harder road
so you could walk with power and peace.
You’ll know borders
only so you can cross them.
You’ll know laws
only so you can outgrow them.
And you’ll know God
not from stained glass sermons—
but from fire in the wilderness,
whispers in the wind,
and glory in your own name.
You won’t need permission to move.
You won’t need validation to rise.
Because I planted legacy in your spirit
and freedom in your blood.
You are my son.
But more than that—
you are your own King.
With a crown forged from consciousness,
and a throne made from truth I refused to let die with me.
So when they ask who you are—
tell them this:
“I’m the future my father prayed for.
I’m the answer he bled for.
And I am free—because he broke the chain before it reached me.”
