&ldquo;Hey, girls, you&#039;re beautiful. Don&#039;t look at those stupid magazines with sticklike models. Eat healthy and exercise. That&#039;s all. Don&#039;t let anyone tell you you&#039;re not good enough. You&#039;re good enough, you are too good. Love your family with all your heart and listen to it. You are gorgeous, whether you&#039;re a size 4 or 14. It doesn&#039;t matter what you look like on the outside, as long as you&#039;re a good person, as long as you respect others. I know it&#039;s been told hundreds of times before, but it&#039;s true. Hey, girls, you are beautiful.&rdquo; <br /> ― Gerard Way


What's wrong with me? I am paralyzed by the fear of becoming a worthless shadow. My heart is burning and aching with every beat that passes. Funny, I didn't think I was even alive. My mind morphs into this steel box under lock and key. It's complex yet simple. It's strong yet easily bruised. If you were to look into my eyes, you would be disturbed by all the mental chaos stirring in my head. I'm trying to keep afloat but the more I struggle, the more I seem to drown by inhaling my own blood, sweat and tears. Slowly slipping away, I feel death on my breath.
