Dear Music,
Thank you for being there when no one else was.
Demons - Imagine Dragons
Doesn't everyone have demons? I'd rather not get into my specific demons, but I think this song would really express basically everyone who holds something deep inside of themselves. Anyone who can plaster on a smile can seem fine, but behind their eyes is where they can truly be found.
Stubborn Love - The Lumineers
So now I think I'll have to get a little more into my demons because I'm one of those people who thinks "it's better to feel pain than nothing at all" because I refuse to feel nothing. I don't want to become a monster with no compassion or empathy. I have feelings and if I know pain than no one can tell me I'm stone or that I feel nothing, because pain is something. And I sure as hell feel pain.
Autumn Leaves - Ed Sheeran
Do you ever wonder if the stars shine out for you? I do. When I was younger I loved wishing on stars. I'm not religious and I don't think the stars are God or angels or anything like that, but when I was little I could see the stars from my bed every night and always said "Star light, star bright. First star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might. I wish with all my heart tonight." Then I would wish for something. I'm not sure if any of my wishes came true, truth be told I can't even remember what my wishes were, but I definitely remember the hope wishing on those stars brought. Sometimes when I had a bad dream or I was having a bad day, I'd look up at those stars and make my little wish and everything didn't seem as bad. So maybe the stars shine out for me, maybe they shine out for you. Who knows? I just like this song because it reminds me of hope.
Last Hope - Paramore
I'm shy, that's not really a secret. But I really like this song because it basically says "I'm me when I'm with just me." And when it says "the salt in my wounds isn't burning any more than it used to, it's not that I don't feel the pain, it's just I'm not afraid of hurting anymore." To me it means that although the pain probably won't ever change and I'll always feel it, that doesn't mean that I should fear pain. I could just accept it because it will be the same forever.
About the lyrics in the picture, those express me because I'm very self conscience but I have just a spark of self-worth and when no one's around to judge me, I can be... Me.

Hopeless Wanderer - Mumford and Sons
I have a natural curiosity and a need to explore, but I also need to love where I am now. I need a home. This song (for the lack of a better phrase) speaks to me, and it's really hard to explain why. Though when it says "how I long to grow old", I freaking love that line because I refuse to give up on life. I want to grow old, I want to fulfill my dreams, I want to get married, have kids. I want to grow old loving the skies I'm under.
