i have this song on my MP3 player, and i listen to it to connect with the feelings i am experiencing. it is intensely painful, and if you study the lyrics closely, and if you have sufferred abuse (of any type, ie sexual, phyiscal, verbal etc) you will connect with it too, if you allow yourself.

she makes references to her father, who is the abuser and the fact he used to beat her mum, and sometimes her personally. all you need to do is adjust the names to match your circumstance, for me its my brother who sexually abused me, so where she says father, i add brother...see what i mean, give it a try with the person who abused you.

i am talking of a song named IM OK and its written and sung by Christina Aguilera. it is not her normal style of music, it is a power ballad and is powerful. even if you dislike her normal stuff, give it a chance. i think i could help you.

go to http://www.esnips.com/web/Simonwatts87sOtherStuff and select the song named IM OK and let me know what you think.

hope it touches your heart like it did mine.

I have added a poll to this post too, so after you have listened to the track, let me know your feelings on it. whether it helped you realise a feeling, or touched upon current feelings, and whether you connected with it.
