When i heard Kelly Clarkson's song - Dark Side for the first time on radio, it drove me to tears (I have the song on my cell phone too). A song that describes how we are afraid to show others our dark life (do not that this statement in a wrong way), dark side is all about what a person goes through various emotions in life by experiencing different phases that life has to offer...
The root of one's dark side stems from difficult childhood, unstable family
patterns, eating disorders, unhealthy peer pressure, substance abuse, weight
issues, emotional un-stability, depression and so on....All these darkness grows
not from the outside source but within the same source where one tries to bloom
into it's own skin but at times due to it's own weakness or lack of inner
strength succumbs to unhealthy form of acceptance to ease the pain..
.
But those who go through the darkness in their life why can't they come
forward and ask for help to make life better? Are they afraid that they will be
rejected or not shown any love or little
compassion knowing from which dark side of life they are coming from? But if we don't then who will? Do we have to
literally beg to others to show some decent emotions of approval, like the
lyrics in the song? It is truly sad that a human find it difficult to
understand each other when in such need...
Let us not shy away or hide ourselves behind a false facade and put on a equally
fake smile plastered on our faces pretending that all is well in our world when
in reality we need someone to reach out to us and erase the suffering of
unwanted emotional pain one endures in his/her journey...Or we feel shy to even
shown little acceptance even like a gentle relationship like friendship to such
people thinking the society will condemn it or label that everyone is the
same...We always worry about the mind of our society than our own lives...Just
not done!
We can't deny that we all want to be loved and cared which makes the
journey in life a smooth sailing...we want to be accepted no matter what we
have done irrespective of the consequences that we face and still have the
strength to move on in life for a better progress.
If one has heard the song of Kelly Clarkson 'Dark Side' and give a proper
ear to the lyrics one will understand what all it means and what i am trying to
say here....I like all her songs cause besides being famous music artist, she
has been and seen her side of dark side in life and by reaching out to others
who had the same side, she has emerged a winner.... :) :) I SIMPLY LOVE THE
SONG!!!
We all have a dark side which is nothing to be ashamed off...Everyone has a
dark side that's just what makes us human because we are not perfect....Don't
give up on yourself and don't run away from it!!!
I would say never hide or suppress yourself in expressing your side of
emotions in other words it heals your soul....No one's life is picture picture..!!
It is all reaching out and making an attempt to make a difference in someone's life and guide them to their proper destination....What a better place this world can be then?!!!
