Mt Juliet, Tennessee

The smell of incense filled my nose,And a top a pile of bones was a rose.The petals were just beginning to witherYet there was not a sign of dither. Candles are lit on either side...

Now I just stare into the sun
And I see everything I've done
I think I could've been someone
But I can't stop what has begun
When everything's been said and done
And there is no place left to run
I think I have to be someone
Now I just stare into the sun

Gerard Way: "Hey, girls, you're beautiful. Don't look at those stupid magazines with sticklike models. Eat healthy and exercise. That's all. Don't let anyone tell you you're not good enough. You're good enough, you are too good. Love your family with all your heart and listen to it. You are gorgeous, whether you're a size 4 or 14. It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside, as long as you're a good person, as long as you respect others. I know it's been told hundreds of times before, but it's true. Hey, girls, you are beautiful."

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment. I told them they didn't understand life
