My parents were always fighting. I didn't even have my own room. I would shrink myself into a small ball in the corner of the room and cover my ears. All I could do was to close myself into a protective shell. There wasn't anywhere I could relax.
That's when I came across the band called Sad Machine. The vocalist was also from an unfortunate family. During the hard times, he would plug his ears with headphones and escape into the world of music. I started doing the same. I felt like everything was being blasted away. Like the vocalist was screaming for me. I began to believe that those who spoke rationally were wrong, and those crying out were right. It made me realise that we lonely people were the ones who were truly human-like. That music screamed, tore apart and destroyed the unfairness that existed. It... saved me.
