My Chemical Romance

I wear black.

I have a fringe that covers my eyes.

I listen to rock music.

I have scars.

I support homosexuality.

I know what you think of me right now

'Emo fag'

'Cutter'

You think you know me.

But you don't.

I am a human being.

Not an object for you to stick a label

On and send it for packaging.

This has an odd layout.

Its weird. Different. A reflection of who I really am.

An outcast.

This piece of writing. This string of words.

Is an outcast.

Its not a poem

Not a story.

What is it?

I don't even know.

My Chemical Romance.

A group of ordinary men

Who made themselves extraordinary.

They are why I am here today

Typing this up at 2am.

Fast-paced rhythm

Shrieking of guitars

Hypnotic bass line

The alluring vocals

It reels you in.

The lyrics are a different story.

That's it.

A story.

They want to tell you something

Show you something from a different perspective.

Encouraging questions and queries

About mediocre matters

And those of astronomical importance.

People tell me they're just some band.

A group that will soon come to an end

And everyone would forget about them.

They're wrong.

Music is universal.

Its a language spoken across the world.

With the right message.

It can become important.

My Chemical Romance are important.

March 22nd 2013

A day etched into the memory of every

Hailer of Bullets

Seeker of Revenge

Black Parader

Conventionalist

Killjoy

My Chemical Romance parted ways.

My only reaction to that was to cry.

I was numb.

What could've caused this unimaginable occurrence.

Gerard answered that.

It just wasn't there.

My Chemical Romance had a self destruct button.

It erupted.

After I read that letter

I broke down.

How could I not?

Those men saved my life.

But as I started to look deeper into it

I finally understood.

I believe they need to find themselves,

And they can only do that once we accept that

My Chemical Romance is done.

But it can never die.

They saved so many lives

How about we let them live there own?

My Chemical Romance will live on in all of us.

They will always be there for us.

We still have the music,

All we have to do is turn up the speakers,

And sing it for the world.

It is not a band

It is an idea.

And ideas never die
