Breathless

Hi, my name is Morgan-Paige. I am 16 years old. I'm a classical pianist and a budding pop artist. My music video 'Breathless' reflects my experiences of being bullied all through public school until I begged to be home schooled. I faced isolation, verbal abuse and physical abuse. I even felt isolated by some of my teachers because it was cooler for them to follow the popular kids. I felt alone and depressed to the point where I'd rather die than to continue living in such depression. At my lowest moment my family realized that something was going on and with support and love, they were able to pull me up and out to a place where I began to love myself again and discover myself worth. I cannot over emphasize the importance of having a strong family support. My hope for this song is that all those who have been bullied or are suffering with depression, can somehow find the beauty in themselves and reclaim their self worth; to not lose their breath, but to hold on and never give up.
