I believe that music is an escape.
When I was twelve years old I discovered my father was an alcoholic. I was so
bitter, and I was shocked. Eventually things worsened. I had to go over to his
house every other weekend. I finally fell into a depression.
At twelve I was told that I needed
to take anti-depressants. I was only twelve, and people were looking at me to
be an adult. I was always furious, bleak, and hollow. Hollow was the worst
feeling of them all. At least when I was angry I felt something. I thought it
was my fault.
It took almost three years to figure
out that it’s not my fault. I was on anti-depressants for a year. Then I just
stopped taking them. Just because I stopped taking them didn’t mean that I was
over my depression. By the time I was fourteen, which was only a year ago, I
found music. Music simply saved my life.
In all honesty I wanted to give up.
I thought that everyone would be better off without me. I was ready to let go,
but I didn’t because I found music. I’m here to say to any who feels this way
that you’re worth it. You are here for a reason, and no one should say otherwise. I also realized that I had other people who cared for me. I had my family, and I am thankful everyday for them.
Just three songs saved me.
The first song was A Match Into
Water by Peirce The Veil. My best friend played this song for me. This Song
Saved My Life by Simple Plan. The last song is Gold by Britt Nicole. You should
give them a listen. This is a section of
This Song Saved My Life by Simple Plan. “I was broken. I was choking. I was lost. This song saved
my life. I was bleeding. Stopped believing. Could have died. This song saved my
life. I was down. I was drowning. But it came all just in time. This song saved
my life.”
I don’t think that anyone should have to feel
like they’re alone. Feeling alone is one of the worst and heart tearing
feelings. If there’s a feeling worse than the feeling of being alone I never
want to experience that feeling. I believe that music is a healthy was of expressing
how you feel. I believe that music is a universal thing that everyone can
understand. I believe that music is an
escape. Music is my savior, and a gift that I will cherish forever.
