true story

[ID: Two images of two separate pages from a book of collected short stories and poems. The first image is a picture of the Table of Contents, which lists Gerard Way’s poems named “short story” and “hate box” as appearing on page eight. The second image is a picture of page eight. The poems are placed side by side on the page. On the left is “short story.”: “you will never get what you want. you will never feel again — never. and everything will happen to you. you will grow old. you will lose everything you have. you will see lies and carnivals — all before dinner time. you will cry. you will cry. you will cry. and you will find yourself standing in a park. piss-drunk, screaming some girls name. you will fail. you will win. you will lose. you will watch people die and “Family Feud” on T.V. you will not understand this. you will not find what you are looking for. you will not smell like roses. you will leave everyone. and move far away. sometimes.”

me: “yeah I dated a guy in high school who came out as gay. it was before i knew i was a boy so needless to say it didn’t work out”
