Music Saves Lives

Yah trigger warning

Ok so today I'm pretty sure I almost died. I was having a bad time at school so I came home. I was talking to Elle and she was making me feel better, but once I have my mind set, there's no changing it.

If I want to do something, no matter what, I'm gonna do it.

So I grabbed my blade and sat down and you know the rest.

I had been thinking about how people have said that music has saved them. I believed it, but it's never happened to me so I just felt like I was one of those people that weren't effected.

I was listening to music as I was doing things, and I was starting to feel light headed, meaning I was beginning to lose a lot of blood. I didn't really want to stop though, there was something that was telling me to keep going.

Then Bulletproof Love came on. I had heard this song a billion times before. The first thing that popped into my head was that Vic wrote this song in the format of a suicide note.

"By the time you're hearing this I'll already be gone." That lyric made me think, that lyric made me stop. I'm not ready to be gone. Elle was talking to me, Elle needed me to continue the conversation. I needed to read the one shot she was writing me.

I was amazed that something like this actually changed my mind. It was cool to have the strength to just stop.

In conclusion, I don't think music saves lives. I think music gives people the strength to put the blade down. Music tells people that it's ok, and it's all in you to decide what you do next.
