&quot;I&#039;m just a man, I&#039;m not a hero<br /> Just a boy, who had to sing this song<br /> I&#039;m just a man, I&#039;m not a hero<br /> I! don&#039;t! care!<br /> <br /> We&#039;ll carry on<br /> We&#039;ll carry on<br /> And though you&#039;re dead and gone believe me<br /> Your memory will carry on&quot; -My Chemical Romance

Forget your life, hold your breath,
Cause no one's waiting for you.
Isn't it sad when death's all you got to look forward to?
Isn't it sad when you're alone in the cold after everything?
Isn't it sad how good a metaphor that is for your life?
Are you sad you're a sidekick?
That your role may be expandable,
Replacable,
Always in her shadow?
Why keep living when her life already means nothing?

I wrote this in a parking lot, watching a HAPPY family walk their talented daughter who was getting tons of attention to their car while I had to wait for my mom to feel like getting off the couch to come get me.
