I have this book that's currently with the Siaw Ee, and one of the stories is called 'The Masque Of the Red Death'. It's a great story about how this disease spread about in the country, and no one would come to help you...unless they're carrying the disease too. This is an excerpt from the story: "Blood was it's distinguishing mark-the redness and horror of blood. It's first symptoms were sharp pains and sudden dizziness. Then blood will seep out from the victim's pores, leaving a red mark below the surface of the skin. This meant that they received little or no help from those who feared becoming infected themselves.The plague struck with lightning speed- within half an hour of catching it, a person could die."

So I got inspired by this story, and wrote about a lonely young girl who is dying from this illness, and writes a will to prove her existence.
The Unveiled Secret:Masque Of The Red Death

These scarlet stains upon my body
A mark of suffering and endless pain
Alone with a dark future ahead
My will is all that shall remain

Prejudice and fear has gripped all hearts
Repentence and regret in every mind
But I, I will rest alone, and young
In my damp and bedded prison I lie

I have nothing to give, and nothing to hide
An invisible life I have led in the past
But you can take my bitterness, my sorrow and my eyes,
To look through a different perspective, a shadow in disguise

To prove my existence I have put pain into words
Being shunned and avoided is part of this world

These are the reasons why I have written this will
For the ignorance that I'd love to kill
For the past and present, for now and then
And as I finish this sentence, my pains will end.

Okay that's the end of the poem. Currently listening to a really cute MCR song. It sounds very Broadway-Popish. It's dark but they made it sound so effing ADORABLE!!!! Not many bands can pull THAT off. Hah. The song is called 'Kill All Your Friends'. Here's a few lyrics:

"'Cause we're all a bunch of animals,
And never paid attention in school.
So tell me all about your problems,
I was killing before killing was cool."

Uhhhh....I'm in the library right now and trying very hard not to laugh. The song is so FREAKING CUTE!!! And Gerard's voice sounds a little weird in this song. As in SEXY WEIRD. AAAhhh...I'm in heaven. Ooops Gerard is telling me to do my Malay homework now. Fine...I will do it after I copy the lyrics down. HEHEH. I will go home today after SYF and drown my erm...sorrows? inhibitions in MCR's new CUTESIE song. Oh yea zing just gave me this anti-emo article from 8Days. I'm never buying that magazine again. Actually I've only bought one issue of 8Days in my life. I think that mag kinda sucks now. What kind of writers do they have anyway?? Thanks ZING!!! Luv ya.
