A Poem About Not Feeling Alone

I don't know why I prefer to listen to sad music when I am trying to get better. It seems to me that listening to music that carries a sad message would be counterproductive when trying to feel happy. But then I remember that I am not the only one who is listening to whatever song happens to be blaring through my computer speakers or playing through my headphones and is being pulled down to their knees as if the wind had just been knocked out of them because of just how much it relates to their situation. There are other kids just like me out there who are going through what I am going through, or at least situations similar to it. In simpler terms, listening to sad music helps me know that I'm not alone. I know that I have my friends and who will always be there for me, but it's not the same. It is extremely difficult to put yourself in someone else's shoes and know exactly how they are going to react to or feel about any certain situation. However, I can say with confidence that there are people out there who are just as miserable as me and find comfort in the familiarity of feelings that sometimes can only be found in lyrics. I think that there would quite possibly be a drop in suicide rates if people felt like they aren't alone and that someone else knows what they are going through and cares about them. Everyone wants to feel like they are loved and anyone who denies this fact is a fool. I know that this project doesn't as of yet have much of a following, but I want you all to know that I understand what you are going through and that you are NEVER alone. I promise you that I am here for all of you.
