Crawling

One of my favorite songs is Crawling by Linkin Park. I love most of their music, but this song in particular really touches my soul.

I first heard it when I was in a dark place. I was struggling with delusions and hallucinations and I believed that no one else could possibly know what it felt like. I was on the Suicide Hotline chat every night for more than a week. But that was only a band-aid for my mental pain. 

Then I heard Crawling:
Crawling in my skin
These wounds then will not heal 
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real 

Not only did someone else feel like I did, but they put it into words. I was not alone! It gave me hope that maybe there was a path out of my dark place.

Crawling is a loud alt-metal song, which isn't for everyone. They did a remix that is less harsh.
