Dark Enough

The last thing that is on my blog is a video from YouTube, although this song is very gruesome and depressing; it has helped many people through very rough and hard times. Maybe for some people it is hard to understand but I know exactly where they are coming from. Sometimes it isn't what it on the outside that shows how people are.

Many people who relate to this try to hide all of their feelings because today's society doesn't care about people who suffer with depression, anxiety, self harm, anorexia, eating disorders or anything like that. If you don't meet "society's standards" of what you are supposed to look like or how you are supposed to act, you are kinda pushed aside.

I think that is one of the many reasons this song is important, although there are many out there that are like this or put a similar statement out there for people to see. Another reason this song is important is that it shows how people that suffer with things such as depression or suicidal thoughts, don't really have a reason. It is a mental disorder, not a choice. People who are depressed don't want to be sad, they just are so they try to make it seem like they are; even if it is faked.

So next time you hear a song that is similar to the one I published on my blog, don't just skip past it, actually sit and listen to it and think about the person who they sing about and how they might feel. And maybe then you will realize that not everyone who appears to be a happy go lucky person, might be the complete opposite of that. So yes, maybe the song might be stupid or depressing to you, but that song might have kept someone alive one more night, or convinced someone to put down that blade, or get rid of the pills they were about to take. Not everyone is the same.
