It's okay to be white It's okay to be black It's okay to be Asian It's okay to be Hispanic It's okay to be female It's okay to be male It's okay to be gay It's okay to be straight It's okay to be YOU. What's NOT okay is skipping a track on The Black Parade.

It's Okay
I am a disaster Smokey eyes and dark lipstick With a choker around my neck I was choked all night The panic attacks The disappointment The sadness It just bursts Into an uncontrollably cries Maybe it’s the darkness Maybe it’s the choker Or maybe, It’s just how I am -s.f

Black Parade
Today bears the weight of erstwhile trepidation. Uncertainties exhumed only to be hung up as ominous flags. Black as night my widowed heart paraded through the procession. Garbed in ash encrusted, sequinned frock, hemmed train all tattered in rags. Herald the face with no features yet obscured behind a chiffon veil. In hands, a bouquet of black roses, worm-eaten to the stems. The mourning sun only gave the weakest glow, feeble attempt to rejuvenate all that is stale; to imbue the shimmer back into forsaken jewels and dulled gems. Her entourage kept up with heavy feet; all grim and sullen. Also faceless... Armed with pitchforks and torches. Today they will draw much; having thirst for crimson. Today they witness her death as the black parade marches.

Black Parade
If I wasn't selfish If I was kind Maybe I'd heal Over time I want to be kind I want to be strong I need to go Where I belong That would be 6ft under ground In a black coffin To join the black parade.
