“Anyone”

It was time to watch the Grammys. I herd Demi was going to make a come back on the stage. Her first time after her battle with addiction. Two years since she’s been on stage. Standing there in her beautiful white gown with the pianist.

It was so beautiful and simply perfection, even tho it was hard for her at first. I couldn’t be more proud of Demi. The song is so touching. It literally took my breath away and brought me to tears. Definitely my new favorite song!

Personally I haven’t battled with addiction, but I take this song so personally with my depression. It was like she was singing exactly what I was going through. Even writing about it, brings tears to my eyes.

She says in her verse “A hundred million stories And a hundred million songs I feel stupid when I sing Nobody's listening to me Nobody's listening I talk to shooting stars But they always get it wrongI feel stupid when I pray So, why am I praying anyway? If nobody's listening“. This exact verse brings me to tears. I have cried out for help with my depression and felt like no one was listening or cared.

I loved to sing, but I stopped, because it was like no one cared to hear my voice. I would pray, but it was like my prayers wasn’t being herd. I would wish for things to change but yet it would only get worse. Everything she said in that exact verse was exactly what I was going through.

I would sing all the time, but when depression hit me. I stopped everything I loved. My depression took over. No one even noticed my love for singing was dropped. No one noticed the changes I was having. Everyone thought I was fine. When actually I was the complete opposite. I was hurting so bad crying out for help.

I prayed every night to help me be happy, to help me get rid of the numbness. Then I stopped, I would blankly stare at the walls until I just fell asleep. I felt as if my depression was telling myself to stop everything that no one cares. Yet again no one noticed my changes.

Out of all the stars in the sky, I would find the brightest one and make a wish. A wish for happiness, something that would happen in life to bring my happiness back to me. One wish I begged to come true for someone to hear my cry. That wish still never came to me.

All I wanted to do was scream out and cry. Maybe someone would hear my voice, and find me some comfort. Unfortunately it didn’t happen that way. Just when I thought no one herd my cry for help. My husband noticed the little things I use to enjoy, I didn’t do anymore. He noticed my cries when I thought no one did.

Just like Demi with her addiction, I got help with my depression. After getting help, I noticed myself singing again, her song “Anyone” to be exact. I was happier and not numb anymore. I started praying again but this time it was to continue my happiness. The wishes turned into thank you.

My depression made me think no one cared about me or what I was going through. Like the whole world was going against me, but my husband showed me he cares. He noticed every little thing I was doing differently, and I could see it affected him and our relationship as well. I got help and got medication to help with my depression and doing so much better.

So Demi thank you for being so brave and coming on stage. Your song has touched many people and I am one of them. I can’t thank you enough for the touching song. Your lyrics has touched many!
