I know I am not the type of person you like or love, but do me a favor. Don’t bully me because of my bands, clothes and outlook. I have enough problems. I despise bullies and what the after effect is. I know you probably don’t understand but I understand you. You are afraid of the unknown. I am unknown, different and unique.
I love Black Veil Brides, My Chemical Romance, All Time Low, and other Rock ‘n Roll bands, but I am not scary and neither is my music. Don’t judge me. Don’t hate me. I enjoy music just like you. All I need is a friend. A friend to be at my side until the end. So don’t judge me.
I am not a bad person. I will not judge you, my hater friend. I just enjoy the pulsing, electifying beats of hard rock music. My sister was judged by her friends and she started cutting. It took four months to get her to quit. Then there is my Avenged Sevenfold friend. Her mother refused to listen when she tried to talk about her boyfriend trying to commit suicide. Today she had a thin red line on her arm.
I am not trying to tell you what to do, but I don’t want you to judge me on something that makes me unique. I am sure you have plenty of unique and strange features of your own, so why judge mine?
You don’t understand my pain. I know in my last letter I stated my reasons. But you need to understand. My bands lift me up and hold me there. Your bands might put a brief sunshine smile on my face. But my hater, my bands tell me through their music that my darkest days are not as bad if I try to seek my friends.
Will you put aside your hate? Will you stand with me? Will you be my shield? If not, let me be. Let me hide behind dark clothes and headphones. Let me hold my music close to me. Let me scream and shout. Let me be a Fallen Angel, Let me play with magic. Let me act like a shadowhunter. Let me be Wretched and Divine. Let me pretend to be a demigod. Let me pretend to be Unbroken. Let me chose between Knives and Pens. Let me be by myself and listen to my Devil’s Choir.
Let me sing along with my bands. Let me be a part of the Black Parade. My Days are Numbered in this world and I don’t have time for fake friends and sugary sweet smiles. In the End, I am Bulletproof, and you are just a Bully. I hate to think that We Don’t Belong here in this world but you are indicting that with your Violence Fetish and cruel words.
I hate the way you talk about my friends. I hate when you pick on me. Now, I know I am Nobody’s Hero, but you could be. Stop being a bully, a loaded gun. Be a Savior to your friends and the children in black. We are just looking for the truth. We are just rebels and wild ones listening to the songs of Youth and Whiskey. You are just a person who leaves scars. We Stitch These Wounds that you leave everyday. Stop arguing with us, because if it wasn’t for these bands we would have Lost It All a long time ago.
Join us and let’s Set This World On Fire and forge a Perfect Weapon of trust and understanding. We are all human. Some are wound by their past and imperfections, and others are just Faithless. Join with us and learn that we aren’t scary or violent. We aren’t Down with the Sickness of the mind. We aren’t crazy. We are just a group of people who aren’t in a Coffin yet. Do me a favor next New Year’s Day. Share a few kind words with a dark cloaked boy or girl at your school, when you return. Don’t shut us out becaue of clothes or music. Because I don’t want to say a Grim Goodbye. We are just Teenagers walking a Boulvard of Broken Dreams.
Help me in my fight to end the Pain and suffering, to wash away the Chalk Outline of the social circles. Life is Beautiful and you are wasting it will you hate and judgement. I just want a Home that my friend can smile again in. Please listen to my words and take my words to heart. Leave a Legacy that you will be proud of. If you don’t care and think that we are secretly thinking ‘I hate everything about you.’ I hate to tell you that you are wrong. We don’t want you Perfect Life and perfect Glass Houses. We want to dance to our own beat. I want to hold my friend in My Immortal heart and love them forever. When I hear that one of my friend are hurting, My Heart is Broken.These my be my Famous Last Words, and be the Sound of Madness to you. But the bassist of Black Veil Brides said it prefectly. “Normal is the setting on a washing machine. No one wants to be that.”
You are probably wondering who I am…… I am Nobody. I am the who lets Shadows Die. I am the one hidden behind a mask of indifference. If you are a child of darkness reading this, You are not alone. You are Beautiful and prefect to me. Don’t listen to the haters of this world. The music is for people like us, the outcast and the weirdos. Someone will miss you. Someone out there cares. I care. If you ever need helping hand, look up a song from your favorite band.
I am sick of the heart attack and the pain I see in my friends’ eyes. I am tired of the lies and worse. I am just a girl in a place that still sticks to gender-roles. I want to wear black and listen to my music too loud. I enjoy nothing more then to hang with my friends. I don’t gossip about boys or other girls. I don’t go out of my way to hurt people. There are people in this world who hate the children of black. There are those who live to brighten your day. My bands speak to those who don’t listen to the happy-go-lucky tunes. They tell people that it is going to be fine. That it is okay to be yourself and not Bewitched into hating yourself. I will admit I’m Weird, but you have no right to judge me. Because I am waiting for the world to change.
