I made myself believe that my real friends were the ones who took me under there wings. During the summer of my sophomore year my life took a huge turn. I ripped my hamstring and tore my meniscus.

This is where I started to crash. I refused to tell anyone about it for weeks, afraid of what my coach would say.

This song is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. “The Sound Of Silence” was originally sung by Simon and Garfunkel, but the one that flows through me is the newest one sung by the band Disturbed. Just the intensity of the song makes me feel alive. It takes me to a place I have spent so much time, it allows me to relax and forget about everything going on around me. The only thing with it, is at first it reminds me of how alone I used to feel, but then it brings me back to how it is today. It shows how the people can read how someone feels just by their look and that silence can bring light upon any
