Gerard Way [[a hero]]

I know the topic of Gerard Way is a very touchy one right now, but I thought I would share this with you anyways.

**I found this, I did not write it. I give credit to whoever did though.**

Gerard Way.

He's been our hero for so long.

He's given us hope, inspired us to be the best we can be and saved us from a vortex of everlasting agony and despair.

In other words, he's a person, who made himself extraordinary by reaching out to millions of people and changing their whole lives.

And he's been there for us, when we needed him he most.

When they laughed at us, he gave us his hand.
When they pushed us to the ground, he told us to stand up fucking tall.
When they targeted you, he told them to fire at will.
When they rejected you, he told you not to be afraid of walking alone.
When they taunted you, he told you that he wasn't okay either.

So why, when Gerard needs us the most, do all of us turn our backs on him?

Why have we automatically assumed that the band is breaking up because of one unjustified incident?

Gerard marches in The Black Parade, and he wants you to march with him.

"Surrounding myself with fans makes me feel as if i'm not going through this alone."

But whats the point, if we're all abandoning the one man, who told us it was okay to be messed up, it was okay to be ourselves & that they should NEVER take us alive.

He's been our hero, he's been our savior & he's been the reason why we woke up that one morning...

It's time to invite Gerard into our lives again.

Even if he never left, hold onto him stronger than ever before.

Because he needs us.

And we need him.
