My Side of the Story
Thoughts on My Chemical Romance: I am not a murderer. I am not a suicide-author. I am a 16-year old girl who has been kicked around by life. I have never killed anyone. I haven't killed myself, I'm very much alive. I live through music. I live through  a band that means so much more than just music. I don't avenge people, I avenge people through music. I listen to a band that cheers for revenge and that's the end of my revenge. I don't kill people, I kill people through music. I listen to a band that sings about death and living alone. I die a little inside and after a while I arise from my own ashes and so I'm alive again. I canalize my feelings through music.
I should be society's darling. Moulded from a mold. I should be civiliced and unable to scream. I close my eyes and listen to a band with a singer who sings and screams his heart out. All that he is and nothing more or nothing less. I am not society's darling. I am not pretty and civiliced. For everyone else I'm wrong, but for this band I'm always right. I say I want to fly with an unicorn and everyone around me are telling me it's not possible. I put Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge on my record-player and it's screaming "I believe in you, fly." When I say 'dream' it says 'reality'. When I say 'wish', it screams 'possibility'. I am complite. I am what I want to be. I'm flying with an unicorn.
My life doesn't depend on this band, but I do. I'm not assuming that this band is going to make my life easy. I'm not assuming that this band is going to reveal me the fucking secret of life. This band is only giving me the tools to do that myself. It makes wings to my unicorn and when I understand I am who I am and that's okay, I'm going to fly with it.
One person can't change a thing. The most useless thought in the whole wide world. Life may control us but we control the world. I can fight life. I can be the one who doesn't buy a gun. I can be the one who doesn't download music illegally from the internet. I can be the one who doesn't judge by looks. I can be the one who does one good thing a day. I can be the one who makes the world just a little bit better place. I can do remarkable things.
And sometimes, I was stupid enough to to think that I'm one person who can't change a thing. I put on my record-player and now I'm flying with an unicorn and I'm a person who can change everything.
My enviroment is changing. My schools are changing. My mom is getting older. My friends are changing. I am changing. My life is changing. This band doesn't change. I havee the right to not to know everything. I don't need to be okay. A society's darling. I am who I am, I'm living my life and if no-one's going to understand me, I'm still going to fucking live. This is my life and I am going to live it.
Every time I'm flying with my unicorn, a part of me dies and rises from it's own ashes and every day I'm less afraid of dying. And I have understood something. I can study. I can live my life. I can make peoples day. But I can't buy time. And when the time is right, time is going to leave me behind and I'm dead. And so are you, and so is my mom, and so are all the adults. We can't control death and we can waste our lives trying to run away from it, or you can fly with an unicorn and accept it.
Gerard Way isn't a cult-icon. Gerard Way isn't a sex-symbol. Gerard Way isn't a sinless God's gift. Gerard Way is a man, who is what he is. I'm not saying Gerard Way is the most amazing human being in the whole wide world. I'm not going to say he is anything at all, because I personally don't know him. I'm saying the way he interprets grows wings at the back of my unicorn. I'm saying he is one of these five men, who makes me complite. The way this music runs through my veins and I understand I shouldn't change a thing about myself, - that makes me fly. I know whenever I feel alone, I can put Three Cheers to my record-player and with my unicorn, I gallop to the air from the airstrip called My Chemical Romance.
And again, I'm flying with my winged unicorn.
This project is: For every My Chemical Romance -fan who was a demolition lover, who was never okay, who was welcomed to the Black Parade. For every patient, Helena & Harmless Vampire. For every single fan who may never see them play live. For those who live Life On The Murder Scene. For those who cried to The Ghost Of You. For those who cried to Famous Last Words. For those who worried about Bob & his burn. For you who helped Gerard stay sober. For everyone who is not afraid to keep on living. To all of you that care about My Chemical Romance.
Let's Crash The Cemetery Gates.
We will have the band, and each other, forever.
This project is dedicated to each and every single one of you who never stops believing in My Chemical Romance. This is also dedicated to the memory of my dad. Can you see? I'm trying really hard to change the world. Rest in peace.
