Catharsis

     I wasn't planning on posting again this soon but I was clicking through suggestions  on YouTube when I found a song by a band called Evergreen Terrace. Although not necessarily the genre of music I usually listen too I decided to give it a try and I was pleasantly surprised that I not only liked the song but it was very cathartic for me. Here are the lyrics, it's called Sending Signals.

I'm sending a signal, is anyone there, to receive and believe in my words?
It's hard to believe when you can't even breathe in, breathe out
The pushing and pulling. The weight of the world, the world breaks my spirit... and crushes my hope.
Is anyone out there to help pull me out, out of this hole?

I know it will be hard,
  I know it will be rougher than before, cause life seems to always ask for more and I am giving all I have,
But maybe givings not enough and i just need, need to push through these black holes.

  Separation from the complications, I'm not coming, I'm not coming back.
  Separation from the complications, I'm not coming, I'm not coming back.
  Separation from the complications, I'm not coming, I'm not coming back.
  Separation from the complications, I'm not coming, I'm not coming back.

I'm sending a signal, does anyone care, care to believe in the ways of this world?
It's ready to show you the truth of today. today I stand out from the-
Rest of the dying, rest of the damned, I believed in with both eyes shut.

  I'm sending this signal, does anyone care, care to push on?

So give me a reason to not look away, a reason for trying, a reason to stay.
  I'm sending the signal, is anyone there to give me a reason. a reason to care?

  Separation from the complications, I'm not coming, I'm not coming back.
  Separation from the complications, I'm not coming, I'm not coming back.
  Separation from the complications, I'm not coming, I'm not coming back.
  Separation from the complications, I'm not coming, I'm not coming back.

     Some of you might not understand why this type of music helps. In all probability you have your own type of music that you listen to when you are in certain moods. Personally, I find that music like this lets my feelings flow through me harmlessly and in the end leave me feeling much better. 

     Listen to it if you want. Whether or not you like it is ultimately of no consequence to anyone but yourself - so please, no trolls.

I'll leave you with this quote which I think is quite fitting.  "When you clench your fist, no one can put anything in your hand, nor can your hand pick up anything." - ALEX HALEY
