It starts with stars, beyond the skies, beyond the heavens, beyond our reach, but we wonder, we try, we reach out and grab.
I am a star. I am a shining star, and I am beyond your reach.
And no matter how many ships you build you will never reach me. I exist among you, I speak to you, (I keep quiet).
I don't need words, I don't need sound. You see it, you see it when you look at me, I'm different.
I'm a giant. I can't be missed. You see me, and you want to know, what I am, what it's like, to be me to exist like i do and it's painful and it hurts and it's wonderful and it's chaotic and tiring. And it's not whining, it's not, it's not, it just hurts, and it needs to be expressed, you need to hear it, and it's not whining because it's true.
I bleed, I cry, and die for you, I defecate my pain for you but you'll never know, because you are you and I am me and I am cursed and in love with you, and with myself, and with everyone and with Earth and nature and my pain and my struggling-struggling- to breathe, to think, to be understood and accepted, (do I want that?)
Is that possible, not just for me, but for everyone, they're all irrelevent, you are irrelevent. Do you understand? You mean nothing to me, nothing, you are the pain I defficate, I need your acceptance. Please love me.
Love me, love me and be gone, go, go away I don't have time for you, there's no time, no time, I have a lifetime to figure all this out, but just one life, that's it just one.
And it'll end- it'll end with the stars, and I'll be one of them, a giant, and you'll look to me with your telescope, shining beyond the sky, but you'll never reach me.
I'm a star, I'm untouchable, I'm special, different, I'm superior and inferior, important and useless, I'm in my head I'm in your way and you will look at me and you will reach out and you'll see that I'm a ghost, I'm a mirage, a dream, I'm everything you think and feel and want and love and hate.
I'm emo.

As Is The Word Goth, Emo Has Become Something Of A Stereotyping Mainstream. A Stereotypical Emo Would Cut Themself, Cry All The Time, Cover Their Face With Hair, Wear Tight Clothing And Listen To Rock Songs About Depression And Heartbreak. But In Reality Emo Is Just A Word So That Some People Can Feel Like They Belong, While Others Use It A Tool To Place Someone In A Catagory (Which May Or May Not Even Be Correct).
Emo, Along With Goth And Also Skater, Is Just A Subculture Of Punk, Mainly Looking At How Hard Life And Love Can Be (Especially When The Word "Love" Is Thrown Around So Much, It's Meaning Is Lost).
But Today, All These Cultures And Subcultures Can Easily Be Faked Just By Wearing Certain Clothes, I Could Quite Easily Put A Pair Of Tight Jeans And Converse On, And People Would Say I'm Emo, But Then I Put Baggy Trousers On, Big Boots And Some Black Lipstick, And I Am Seen As Goth.
But It Is Annoying When You Get An Emo Who Wants Everyone Else To Know It, Same Goes As Some Goths.
Emo Is Short For Emotional, But You Most Probably Didn't Know That
(Note: I Am Not Seen As Emo, More Like A Goth, But I Go For Individualised Alternative Human Being)
Also Look Out For My Definition Of Goth

I consider myself a true emo. I myself, unlike all you narrow-minded idiots can appreciate the true definition! I believe a true emo is one who doesn't uphold the stereotypical image or even anything else.
Like most things it comes from the music. If "emo" was taken as literally as it is, then fucking everything and anyone is an emo! Emo in it's truest sense comes from the emotive hardcore music. I am about the music. So stop generalizing and being so narrow-minded, we are all individuals. (Maybe except the conformists of the sub-cultures.)

A person who's either had a hard life, wants attention, hates life, has had a bad experience in life and only knows how to handle it through poetry and music..Sometimes cutting but that's not ALL emo's.
Take it from me. All yu haters can s.C.rew yurselves yall are just jealous

IDK why but it seems that most Emo's tend to either be bi, lesbian or gay...though a lot are straight too deff not discriminating against yu straighters. Emo is a style of music, mind, life and most people grow out of it by age like...27-32...


PS. DON'T JUDGE EMO'S BECAUSE OF HOW THEY LOOK OR ACT. WE'RE NOT CRYBABIES WE'RE MORE INTACT WITH OURSELVES AND AREN'T AFRAID TO SHOW IT. YOU CAN'T HANDLE THAT THEN YOU SHOULD BE GETTING OVER YOURSELVES. WE ARE WHO WE ARE. YOU SHOULDN'T TRY TO CHANGE THAT.
Convo between MAINER emo's;
xXAzzieNinjaXx; Dude...my bf was cheating on me...what the hell?!

XxWenzieVampxX; Ohmygosh I'm sorry hon! Wanna come and hang out with me for a bit so yu can vent or call or somethin?

xXAzzieNinjaXx; Umm...No thanks I have a song stuck in my head that I should write down...I just can't believe he wanted that slut over me...

XxWenzieVampxX; Okay luvvie. He'll come to his senses sooner or later and then he'll realize yu were better than she'd EVER be.

^^^That's what a " Emo " convo would sound like...see. its not different than any of yalls...^^^

Okay, I've read through these stupid definitions on here for emo, and they're all WRONG.

I am an emo, so I figured this would be the best way for you numbskulls to get it through your minds. "Emo" IS short for "emotional". To be emo, you have to listen to the music, i.e. My Chemical Romance, Aiden, Underoath, etc, etc wear the clothes, i.e. skinny jeans, studs, etc, etc and have the personality. Now, personality is the biggie here. An emo personality is not always depressing, oh, and hint hint, EMO'S. DO. NOT. HAVE. TO. CUT. Emo's do, however, need to be a bit shy, poetic, and generally pretty intelligent. Emo's are also usually very, very nice people. Most of them, now I say most, not all, understand hurt. Generally emo's are shunned from society, but they're always willing to talk to someone. Emo's are sensitive, and only want their thoughts to be heard. Emo's do not always cut, are not always depressed, don't wear just black, and aren't freaks. They're people.
Here is an emo IM conversation:

PoeticXpoison: Hey. Haven't talked to you in a while.
Simmering_emotions: I know. I've been a bit stressed lately. How are you?
PoeticXpoison: I've been okay. Got a few new CD's, couple T-shirts, you know.
Simmering_emotions: That's great. You know, I think posers have been multiplying at school.
PoeticXpoison: What makes you say that?
Simmering_emotions: The fact that random preps are suddenly dressing in all black, wearing a ton of studs, writting horrid poetry, and slitting their wrists.
PoeticXpoison: How pointless. I wish they would realize that you don't have to hurt yourself...
Simmering_emotions: Same here.
PoeticXpoison: Hey, do you want to come over here later? We can listen to the new Panic CD.
Simmering_emotions: Sounds great. See you around...five?
PoeticXpoison: Perfect.

PoeticXpoison has signed out.
