DAMAGED - PLUMB

[Photofly80]

wow, this really made me cry... child abuse is a life long shadow that follows a soul....... I know this all to well........ Some days are tough, the rest of the days are what keep me going.... Looking at my child, and knowing how much more I want for her as a child is what holds me strong... The abuse has made me more caring for others, and more sensitive to what hurts others in this life.... bless u all and look to the light...

[Renee1552]

So many sad faces :(

[iclandgirl]

To me, the song can be mean many things to many people. Depends on individual people....

[paramore367]

Child abusers can go rot in hell.They ruined a childs life and left one big perment scar that will affect how they live the rest of there life.

[flashoftruth]

i always include this song in my ambient mixes...i first heard it in the movie "brokedown palace". it's a very powerful & beautiful song about a very painful subject that both unfortunately & fortunately inspired it.

my thoughts & energy go out to all who must endure this type of crime against humanity...and those that rise above it.

[Livingmylegacy]

They say 1 out of 5 women have been sexually assalted. That's only the reported number. Imagine how many never get reported...

[ltplauren4138]

I feel like such a fucked up child. I used to cut myself but I told my parents and now I can't cut and it makes me almost wish I was abused in some way just so I would have a reason to hurt myself, or someone else hurt me. I know it's terrible to say but there are days when I with it would happen, maybe then someone would care....

[chickluvbostons]

I am a survior of sexual abuse age 4-12 I suffered. I am scared forever. But what i want to say most of all is if this is current happing to you TELL SOMEONE If that person doesn't help u, Keep telliing TILL SOMEONE does! Scream it in public if you have to someone will listen, , You are not alone ,their are many of us out there, do not be ashamed,u have done nothing wrong. Seek help don't suffer anymore TELL!

The book is by Ellen hoppkins:)

@TaAsMaNiAn

Check out the book impulse. I know exactly how you feel. That book really helped me. Andd they do care-- give them time. It's really hard. But it will happen. :,

[TaAsMaNiAn]

my parents divorced a couple months ago and no one seems to care for me my father has completely shut me out of hislife and my momis to preocupied with her boyfriend and for some reason i feellike no one cares for me anymore not my family not my friends i feel really alone yet all my friends say they care but inside i still feel they dont will this subside?

@TaAsMaNiAn

I am so sorry...my heart just goes out to you so much. I've been where you are. I've been in darkness so deep I thought I wouldn't come out, feeling so...utterly and completly alone. A big empty hole in the heart. Just sitting there, growing bigger...and bigger. I've been there. I know what it's like. I was like that when I accepted Jesus in my heart and...He is the only one that can fill that hole. He will never EVER leave you. never. I think Isaiah 30:19 is for you.

[Cornonmycob]

@TaAsMaNiAn

"You shall weep no more. He will be very gracious to you at the sound of your cry; When He hears it, He will answer you."

Maybe listen to "Hold My Heart" by Tenth Avenue North...it really touched my heart and I think it might touch you. If you want to talk you should definietly send me a message, I'm here if you want to :)

[sandyabernathy]

TaAsMaNiAn focus on you. I know what it is like to be a child of divorced parents. And I know what it is like to be a parent who divorced. Right now Mom is trying to find someone to make her happy. To validate her. But never doubt she loves you!!! And as for your Dad, emotions are uncomfortable for men. Divorce is grevious. It is like a death, but the person is still alive. But IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT. Talk to God. He got me through everything.

[krauser2317]

my name is debbie I was rapped at 7 for a year and when i was 12 i was rapped by a boyfriend it was my first time . when i was 17 I was beaten and rapped by a husbund i was with for 6 moths and left he almost killed me. I blamed my self for a long time this song touchs my soul.

[SexySillyMonkey16]

I know the pain of being rapped. I was 8 and it went on for 7years. I am now 18. This song brings back so many memories it hurts.

[sandyabernathy]

@Krauser2317 You have been a victim each time. You allowed yourself to be a victim as an adult, because you were programed to think you deserved nothing better. I was sent from Foster home to Foster home as a child of divorced kids. My Step Mom didn't want me and my Dad won custody of me and my brother and sister. I married a abusive man. We have to relearn how to think. We have to recognise the profile of an abuser and avoid them.

[KerPlunkd]

This is beautiful.

Just... perfect, I guess.

< 3

[ThePaganDawn]

such a poignant song. Out of the badness comes good and love you can overcome it - I did

[Godisthebest9]

God can take anything bad and use it for good, but that doesn't mean people don't need a shoulder to cry on.

[TheStrawberryGloss]

Brings back memories ;(

[randomkatz]

I got so deppresed when my family fell apart and when i got my first boyfriend i was so happy but when it turned out he was using me I got so bad, i'll have this scar forever

[kittie6625]

[badsinga5]

this song is amazing. my mom stopped by the prison and showed it to the BIG inmates, and they cried.

[littlemisspixiedust]

[badsinga5]

if ur still abused than i'm sooo sorry and u should tell someone. tell someone that'll help you. then you'll be better. just talk to people about it. report him it'll help u =)

[babalon93]
