Verse 1
Little girl, naive, and innocent.
Holds her head up and tries to make sense of it.
What he's done, what he will do, and what he did to you.
There's no excuse.
Verse 2
Here she is months later, can't handle it.
The sights, the sounds, the smells come rushing back.
Not an apology left your lips, but she still blames herself.
But there's no excuse.
Chorus
Do you see what you've done to her, turned something so sweet into something so broken.
Guilt and shame surround her, but that should be you feeling like this.
Do you see what you took from her, her sense of self and all of her safety.
Taking a girl's clothes off without permission steals something, it's her identity.
Verse 3
You call her crazy and a liar, put it all on her.
Your night of fun was her worst nightmare.
She hides behind this like it's her fault.
But there's no excuse.
Chorus
Bridge She keeps telling herself, it's not your fault, it's all hers, it's not yours.
This will always take me over, I guess I'll let you win this war. X2 She keeps telling herself, it's not your fault, it's all hers, but it's not hers.
This won't take me over anymore, I won't let you win this war. Chorus
PLEASE share with anyone you know who has gone through this or just share on your social media to raise awareness for sexual assault...
Hello everyone!!
I wrote this song back in November of 2017 when I was processing my emotions after being raped. It strips you of all security and worth. I am sick of watching others around me be sexually violated and no one doing anything about it. I hope this song opens your eyes to what rape does to someone. It not only physically affects them, but the mental pain that follows them forever is even worse. I thought I would never be able to get back up again after this. I was at my lowest point for months, calling my parents to tell them I was going to kill myself. I hated myself and the pain I was in. If you're watching this video or reading this and you're a victim of sexual assault, know that I understand exactly what you're going through. I didn't finally see a light until I let God back into my life. I don't care if you're a believer or an atheist, but don't ignore these next few sentences. I was ready to end my life, but God showed me all my life could be. If you've lost hope, try asking Him for help. If you feel lonely and unloved, ask Him for His unending love. He is the one person who is always there and will never leave you. The hardest thing for you to get over in this life could be so much easier if you add God to the equation. I promise. Now, if you know of anyone who has been sexually assaulted, please share this with them. They need to know they're not alone and how they feel is VALID. Also, even if you don't know anyone specifically who has been through this, please share to your social media profiles! Awareness for rape is necessary. Sexual assault is a serious issue going on in our society today that has been kept quiet for too long. It has lasting effects on victims and little effect on the attacker. Let me know what you think about the song, what you think about what I've said here, if you'd be interested in hearing some of my other music, or really anything you'd like down in the comment section below!
Thank you.

My mama always told me not to use the word "victim".
You're a survivor.
beautiful. beautiful. i love that word change. thank you.
@@meghanbradley8879 You're welcome. Thank you so much for or sharing the fantastic song and testimony. God is good.
mom told don’t tell anybody about you are lucky
@@killuazoldyck7429 I'm so sorry about that. I can't imagine any mother telling her child to keep quiet. My heart breaks for you.
Killua Zoldyck im so sorry. that’s horrible, my prayers go out to you always now. you’re safe to speak up here. we just wanna encourage you. you’re worth it.
I'm 17 and a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. I was sexually assaulted for a long time by my eldest brother. I feel the pain, and the disgust being in my own skin but I know I will overcome it. Thank you for sharing your story and for being a voice to all those who have been violated by horrible people. Your song really spoke to me
3abriiina hey girlie. you are gonna overcome this. life is a gift and we MUST find ways to feel comfortable in our own skin again. i’ll be praying for you. i encourage you to do things DAILY to really help your mental health and help YOU overcome the things horrible people did. i’m sorry. you got this ❤️
Meghan Bradley Thank you so much ❤️ and I will. We’ll both rise above it and come through stronger on the other side :)
Hey I'm 16 and I just want to say thank u I have a similar story wiv my eldest brother and I thought I was the only one if u ever want to talk I'm here ur so brave ❤
@@abigailattoe5761 thank you 💛 I’m sorry that you had to go through that, but I’m glad you know you’re not alone in this anymore. You are incredibly strong even just for being here, alive, today. I’m here for you too ❤️
Dont worry your not alone and well with your brother well we will just "talk" to him 🔫🤭
I was only 4 years old but I wonder how I still forgive him when he’s the one that has my wondering if I even deserves to live🙂
Forgiveness is deserved by people who have remorse.
It's very precair and your personal right to chose to forgive or not. In my opinion the choice to not forgive does not cause you to become a prisoner or bitter.
This person created these issues for you so you should not be burdened even more with the yoke of wondering if you should forgive or not.
You deserve to be happy, healing day by day and focus on you. That's possible whether you forgive (for your own benefit) or not.
You are free and will always be free even if it does not always feel like that.
What happened is horrible and it does not change your innocence bc you are innocent and the person who did this is not.
Only my thoughts on this 😇
Bless your heart mind and emotions.
I was first raped at 3... So your not alone💞
It started in kindergarten and it’s still happening to me it has happened to me every grade I’m a freshman
I was raped by my brother from before I was even a year old until I was 4 he threatened to kill my family and make me watch if I told anyone.
4wtf are you ok
You are so brave for putting this song out in the public. I’m sure this will inspire so many people!
Thanks girl! And I hope it does inspire lots of people!
@@meghanbradley8879 It did
Why isn’t this song being recognised by record companies❤️ I’ve had this song on repeat all morning❤️ i was raped 1 year ago today😔 thank you for making this song, your voice is absolutely beautiful❤️
Wow I love you, thank you for that. Thank you for your strength and saying it happened to you. You're helping make a difference. I'm praying for you.
I know how this feels. You are so amazing for doing this. I actually can’t stop crying. He never apologized and now like my friend who is like my brother and who would never hurt me touched my shoulder from behind and I had an anxiety attack. You are so beautiful and amazing and it is the actual most amazing thing that you did this
Hi girlie. Thank you for the kind words. I know it's hard to get over this, but you're doing great. Always remember that. You're alive, you'e fighting through it. You're doing great. I'm sorry you can relate to this song, but I am also happy it offered some comfort. I am going to keep you in my prayers.
I know how you fell my cousin never apologized to me ether and I’m truly sorry that you had to be throw that
I can’t stop crying. ❤️ I’m so proud of you.
You are amazing! This song is amazing! This makes me so emotional.
I have not been raped, I am also not female.
But I once loved a girl who was raped in a basement for 3 years. I motivated her through her life for 1 yr and a half to help her out. I would protect her and tell her stories and spend every day in an effort to make her feel better. It worked for a while.
She committed suicide in the end however on New Year’s Day this year due to bullies.
Ever since it’s been my dream to help the depressed, make films to make a difference.
You, YOU are an inspiration to others. Please continue making songs
I BELIEVE IN YOU! With all my heart, soul. Idk if that means nothing I wouldn’t be surprised.
But please don’t stop what your doing.
And to others out there please do not give in!
GOLDENMORAL CINEMAS wow this comment made me cry 🥺 thank you for your kindness towards that girl, you made a difference in here life, and it’s a shame people can make someone feel so unloved (no matter the amount they receive from anyone else) that they decide to end their life... i’m thankful there are people like you. you’re amazing. thank you for your nice comment towards me also, i want to help people just like you ❤️
❤️🌻Thank you.
Meghan Bradley thank you so much,
@@meghanbradley8879 ❤️😌😌
As someone who was sexually assaulted by a past partner, thank you. I really needed that.
It’s been almost two years since I’ve gotten raped and still haven’t really given myself time to process. Thanks for this song. Stay strong guys it’ll get better 🖤
Maisy Pitzer take your time to process it. people will make it seem like you should be getting over it, but TAKE YOUR TIME. everyone is different and still takes time to heal. i was raped two years ago now and i JUST got through it and feel healed.
Meghan Bradley thank you❤️
@@meghanbradley8879 I was also raped two years ago in my appartment. I am 44 years old. He intimidated and strangled me, humiliated me and locked my front door. I escaped with my reserve key after his crimes bc he went to sleep in my bed and told me to lay down.
I did but when I noticed he was asleep I remembered having a reserve key in my wallet.
This got me out of the situation.
Last week I had to attend a witness interview at court which was very painful bc some questions from the perpetrators lawyer were ridiculous and sexistic.
I felt character murder.
My lawyer told me it's over now.
I don't feel sure about that. During the interview I said that the perpetrator is a narcissist.
Now I am scared that his lawyer will chase me for calling the 'suspect' a narcissist. It's insane the world upside down and maybe I'm just paranoid bc I know his manipulative behavior.
There will be a trial soon so I guess this interview was needed to press charges but I'm still defending myself in my head saying things I forgot to say or correcting things which were misinterpreted.
I feel like everything I say is used against me. Horrible feeling.
I only want to move on in love and peace.
The judge said I was informed that I could be questioned by the suspects lawyer.
I said I know but I did not have much choice bc I ran into the police station in the middle of the night. No matter what I did, reporting or not it's never good.
I feel like I am being attacked in my integrity. I also feel angry I want to scream out loud to the system that it's not about sex. It's a crime just like someone taken hostige in their house and like a robbery. They asked me about my sexual life. That feels so unfair. It's about what happened that night. Not about my personal life. I still feel sexism
Like I am the easy slut.
Maybe this is mainly in my head bc I am sensitive and its all a standard procedure but still I think its a strange world. 😕
I just want to live my life. I can't stop the thoughts in my mind about the things they said and asked. I guess it needs to fade away just like the trauma itself from 2018.
I already read that witness interviews/legal process can be traumatizing too.
@peace of mind of peace. I got brutally raped by a gang affiliated confidential informant and because I turned in my bloody evidence I got jumped by 3 high ranking cops whom were doing the reeper a fukking favor. Took them to FBI and I wasn't aware that confidential informants and the officers who work with them work for the FBI so I was telling on myself well that really pissed them off and I got quite a few death threats and l three times three different days three different strangers I had a gun pointed at my head and even though I had all the evidence all the proof I because he is a rat a snitch a confidential informanthe got away with it and believe me girl I also got interrogated to hell by prosecutor humiliating and I don't know what done more damage on methe actual abuse or the way I was treated in the courtroom.... Our system is so f*****it's like we have this whole system for criminals yet victims are treated like there's just as much a chance us being a liar then them being purp
Meghan - what strength the Lord has given you. You had me in tears. A verse that got me through a lot of my own stuff was Joel 2:25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten.... I am so glad that you waited on the Lord to rescue you out of that dark place. He is a good good Father!
This was so beautiful. Amen.
Sitting here balling my eyes out. Was trying to process my trauma from my childhood. I was 15..... I am 40... and still... Hold this pain so deeply. It has affected my entire life...my childrens lives.... my abusers...have no idea nor do they care. Thank you for being so brave to share and to write such a beautiful song for us all.
you are brave. God sees what you’re doing. i’m proud of you and so is He. Jesus i pray you give her peace and that she would lean into You when it gets tough. Lord thank You for being our Comforter. praying for you Laura. you’re amazing!!
I wanna know who disliked this...because like...ummm YOU NEED SOME JESUS😂😧😧😧😧
You are such an inspiration. I so admire your strength, courage, honesty, and resilience. God is going to use you in big ways. Thank you for being willing to speak out for those who don’t have a voice. Love you girl ❤️
"Taking a girl's clothes off without permission steals somethin'" tears are pouring down my face. Thank you.
girl you can cry all you want, that line still makes me choke up when i sing it. you’re beautiful and i hope this song is helping you 💗
@@meghanbradley8879 Thank you so much, Meghan. You are so beautiful too and you give me hope that I can heal. Sorry its taken me so long to get back to your kindhearted reply. That line makes me choke up just thinking of it. Who ever dares to think they have permission to do that to another human being, right? I am definitely still angry and bitter from what happened. I wish they taught in school how to identify and distance ourselves from these people before it was too late. To recognize the signs of manipulation and how to craft an escape plan as well. All would have been useful years ago before this happened. The saddest thing is knowing I could have prevented it if I had acted quicker and maybe made better financial decisions earlier to move out of my house and be independent. It all came from living at home with family and not being able to push myself to hold down a job (partly because of chaos at home as well as financial issues, and wrong career choice pressured by family --> debt.) I just wish I would have woken up earlier so it would have never gotten this bad for me. I don't understand why it takes so long for me to heal from things and more trauma keeps piling up. If I got out of the trauma from my last breakup and got out of debt sooner, maybe I wouldn't have been in the basement that night...I would have been in my own house or apartment, safe....Thank you for your inspiration. This is my all-time favourite song to feel and let go of what happened.
I needed this💔I keep blaming myself and I hate myself for it😭
Poppy Marable883 don’t blame yourself love, i know it’s easy for someone to say that, but it’s such a traumatic thing that we take years to finally convince ourselves it wasn’t our fault. it’s a horrible system, but i promise you, hold on. you got this. don’t lose faith, things WILL get better
I'm 14 and a survivor of a traumatic sexual assault, was assaulted by a middle school bully. I am still to this day harassed by my old classmates, and this song makes me feel safe again, thank you my dear friend!
I was 5 and I still see him all the time I fell unsafe when someone touches me and I can't tell anyone bc he is family. When he leaves this world I'll tell someone I promise
as a survivor and someone who struggles with ptsd about what happened , i want to thank you for this ❤️
I'm sorry that happened
I needed that. I’m speechless💞😭
i’m glad you heard it then 💗 ily
I commented on here a year ago and today I’m listening to this as I’m getting ready to go to court and see my abuser go to jail, this song has helped so much. ❤️
YESSS!!!
God bless you, glad to hear your testimony, and what God has done in your life, you are powerful close to Him, Christ paid His own blood as the price to remove our sins and deep sorrow so that He could return into His possession.💗
I am so grateful I found this song. And the story. Thank you for sharing. Your transparency brings healing.
You have a very pretty voice! I like the song also.
This is giving me goosebumps.. I just want to say thank you for making this. Even months later, it’s still hard to process what happened, and why, and this is exactly what I needed to hear right now. Thank you.😭❤️
Autumn Center of course! i’m glad you liked it. it’s hard to process but it’s necessary for healing. thank you!
I needed comfort from this so bad can't stop crying😭 YOU'RE SO STRONG AND BRAVE
Coming back to this song is always a bitter sweet. Dealing with my second traumatic experience with sexual assault from January and now hearing someone did this to my little brother hurts. Thank you for making this song for survivors🖤
This is beautiful. I'm so glad I found this song.
I wish I was brave enough to tell my story.
You are brave weather you tell your story or not❤️
I'm sorry that happened
This is such a beautiful and powerful song! Thank you for putting it out there, I needed to hear this.
thank you girl! 💗
i needed this. thank you.
i’m glad it helped you. ❤️
4 years and 3 years ago. Once by my grandpa, once by a girl at a party. This song really makes me feel different. Thank you.
2 years of my life taken then afterward it still comes and haunts me... stay strong precious babies 💓 💖
Thank you for this Meghan this gotten me through a lot of sleepless night because of what I've been through. I like to connect to music when I go into a dark place and this song had let me connect all the way. Thank you so much for this. The emotion in your voice is so real.? Your not alone. We're not alone. ❤️
I'm sorry that happened
Im 15 in two months.
It happened throughout my young teenage years...
I've been struggling even recognising who i am anymore
I really needed this song..
Thank you for making this
I’m sobbing, sending you so much love and light❤️
Brit Evans right back at you ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing this with the world. It really helped me, and I know how it feels to have to deal with trauma every day. Thank you.
Kassie Flores of course! i’m so sorry you’re dealing with it everyday. i pray you can feel peace and hopefully get through this and heal.
I love you so much. Thank you for this.
You are so brave. I am a Christian too. I was attacked by two older boys when I was 12 and was sexually abused by a family member as a child. I’m 19 now but the pain doesn’t fade I find it only grows. But I have the Lord and he is my comfort. Xx
Expecto Patronum the Lord is your comfort. seek Him when the pain is growing instead of fading. you deserve to feel peace and happiness again.
I'm sorry that happened
I was sexually assaulted by my “best friend” in October of 2017 thank you for writing this. It’s helping me heal and it helps me move through this pain. You are a blessing sent from God. 🤍
Alexandria Pitts i’m so sorry that happened, especially by someone you considered a best friend at one point. you deserve better. and you deserve to heal. thank you 🥺❤️
You are strong and just know it will make you stronger!
I'm sorry that happened
Thank you 😢
You have a beautiful voice, you play piano well and your lyrics are deeply yours but also "ours".
It's that, "months later" for me & it is harder now than ever before. I was so numb in the beginning & lately, just as you wrote in your song, it's really all coming back, extremely realistic flashbacks & nightmares.
I am extremely angered that society still doesn't seem to care (especially where I am from) and this happened 2 years after you wrote this song. Still really no progress.
You are a very strong young woman to put yourself out there, & I find your voice comforting, thank you so much & it truly was never your fault.
Malibu7Seven hey girl, i know it’s unfortunate that society sees rape as a minor issue. we must try to take that healing upon ourselves and put it in Gods hands, that’s the only way we’ll find true peace. i’m sorry you’re suffering from nightmares and flashbacks. i’m so so sorry. i’ll be praying for you and i hope you find the healing you need 💗
I'm sorry that happened
I felt that. Thank you for this ❤ Keep your head up, and keep singing loud with your beautiful, strong voice
glad you could find comfort in this song. thank you ❣️
Wow , i read the description , nearly made me teary eyed, I was molested at the age of 6 and only God took that pain and turned what the enemy meant for me to something good. Ever since God has been in my life the old me past away and i’m finally at peace, thank you for sharing this song❤️ I also did a testimony video on how God showed up in my life when I wanted to end it as well. God bless you !
I used to be so confident, until slowly I became what I am now. I’ve been a survivor multiple times now. All I can say if you went through it. Baby it might not get better but remember it was never your fault. They did something unforgettable, it hurts I know but remember your someone who has a voice, you matter, your amazing and beautiful. Everyday go in the mirror and tell yourself “I’m not a victim, I’m a survivor. I went through them doing that to me. I deserve to live”
I'm sorry that happened
I'm really glad I found this song it was able to impact me so deeply. I used to think I could ignore all past trauma. Although more and more I've been lashing out and not wanting to be near people. The words you sang I could relate to so well. The worst is when you finally tell someone and you think it makes it all better and than you will just be over it. Although, instead I just ended up feeling more guilt. It's hard to not let them win and take power back. Your song I assure you have helped so many even those who don't say it. Your voice is so moving and you should by far make more songs and try to get this one more publicized. This could help so many! Thank you you are so strong and make it a little bit easier to realize I'll be okay, and find a way to cope rather than hide from feeling and blaming myself. Thank you!
Taylor Kranz wow this made me cry. i appreciate your words so much. it’s so important to realize what happened may always be in your thoughts but you can’t let it affect how you live. we must learn to move on and live our lives as they are meant to be. i’m so glad you could relate to this song and it helped you because that’s what it was meant for. i encourage you to kind of evaluate and feel your trauma because that’s the only way to start you life again, you know? love you, always here for you girl 💛
@@meghanbradley8879 Awe thank you so so much! That meant so much love you. Your voice is amazing you by far should sing more. I sincerely appreciate your response thank you so much. That is very helpful advice thank you!
Taylor Kranz is course girl, always here for you. and i’m trying to put more content out! follow me on insta! i post more music there than here lol
This is so amazing and you have a very good voice. You are an inspiration singing a song about this I know it will touch many people's hearts as it did mine. I would heart it if we could heart songs, Thank you for such an amazing song.
thank you hannah! i’m praying it will touch those who need it. ❤️ thank you againnnn.
Hey, thanks for putting this out here, you are so brave! It's helped me to understand somewhat that it wasn't my fault that it happened to me. I'm getting help through therapy for what happened to me, but music like this has helped me a lot too.
Also, Gund N Roses is such a good band!
Madison Draws im so glad you’re getting help ❤️ and yes gunsnroses !!! 😂

wow thank you 💗
This song is amazing. It has really helped me. I have been sexually assaulted and raped on many occasions and I really need a song like this to listen to when I am thinking of ending my life. It has helped me overcome those thoughts on more than one occasion. Thank you for helping me survive my own thoughts.
Abigail Amundsen always here for you, your life is worth so much more than the rape. your life can’t be lived without you. love you girlie. stay strong ❤️
I'm sorry that happened
I really needed this. Thank you so much.
of course! so happy you stumbled across it. ❣️
I just found this... this is amazing thank you for raising awareness i luv u 🥺x
i was so young that i didn’t realize until a couple of months ago that i had been sexually harassed by my cousin. he would always touch me when i didn’t want him to. i ended up telling my grandma after at least 5 months of it going on bc it would happen when we would spend the night at her house. he did stop but nobody knows about this and it has been eating me up recently. i now have a huge fear of people touching without my consent (even a hug). i’m so scared to tell somebody. he is now a senior and i’m a sophomore. idk how i forgave him but did bc i forgot that it happened until recently. and i keep having panic attacks so i might end up going to my therapist again.
i strongly encourage therapy! it helped me a ton. i’m so sorry for what happened to you. genuinely. i promise things will get better and it’ll be tough to process, but worth it. sending you all my love and prayers girl.
a song never made me cry before, but this hit hard....
This song helps me so much..thank you.
thank you for making this. i dont feel so alone.
snekdood you’re never alone. i’m here but most importantly, God is there for you. even when you don’t feel it, He’s there watching over you. try talking to him and tell him how you feel and be honest. i pray He gives you comfort 💗
Thank u so much for this!
Bruh I really can't even stop listening to this😭😭😭😍😭
wow ily haha
This made me cry cause I've been through that
thank you this is the song i have to listen to this made me remember when i was still 10...i think it's to late for me to tell what happened...no one will believe me
it’s never too late to get the healing you deserve. whatever steps you have to take to get there, do them. your health and wellness is way more important than what they think or believe of you. i know it’s hard, but if that’s what you feel you have to do to heal, i say do it. im praying for you lots, love u.
It was my real dad who did it when I was 8 it’s been six years now and I still remember every second of everything my mom said it was only a few months but to me it felt like years of pain and disgust
THIS IS AMAZING THANK YOU😭😭😭😭
Rihanna Ramkissoon ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Made me cry and think how far I'm today I survived!!! The many years of abuse and rape. But it kill me now to see my daughter suffering the same rape by 2 men from work at 17 God give me the strength to help her
Thank God for your survival and where you are today. I’ll be praying for wisdom and guidance to you as you decide what to do about your daughter. She doesn’t deserve this, you didn’t deserve it, no one does. I vote for fighting! thank you for commenting.
Most beautiful voice in the world
thank youuu!!
Four years of hell are behind me...I hope he regrets what he did...it hard to forgive someone who violated you in more ways then one🙂
Hi I've never watched any of your videos this is actually the first one I watched because I'm doing research for a song I'm currently writing I've never been assaulted like you but I'm writing a song about girls and boys who have and I'm sharing people stories and honestly so that why no one will get upset and I'm right here with you trying to spread the awareness
Unicorn Family wow that’s amazing! thank you for spreading awareness, it always helps ❤️
@@meghanbradley8879 it really does and u are making a big change by sharing ur story and it's not easy but ur out here doing it anyway and that takes guts so good job keep up the amazing work ♥️
This song is definitely helping. I always pushed away what he did to me so many times. I always forgave him and made myself believed he's changed. He eventually did, but is now suffering all the consequences for all of it. I was his only victim. I wasn't the only one but I was probably the one he did it the most too. I remember one day he told me he was better and he wasn't going to do that anymore but then and went to try and touch me while we were watching a movie. I forgive him cause he's blood, and I can truly tell he's better becauee it's been years and I've seen the pain and regret he feels. But still he fucked me up and that's something is I'll never forget or ignore. I haven't seen him in a while and won't till I'm 17. He's in jail but not for what he did to me, what he did to another girl. Another girl who wasn't blood. He did it to me and my 2 older sisters. But he is our brother so we forgive him and still love him because now we can finally see that he has changed. To bad I won't see him for a couple years. But again thank you for posting this. I never new I needed to here it.
Destini Angelina wow girl, thank you for being willing to share that. i can’t even imagine the amount of pain you felt to receive that from a family member. you are so so strong. i’m glad you found forgiveness and hopefully he understand now what he’s done and can move past it also. so glad the song helped. always here to chat.

Thank you...
At the age of 6 my cousin began sexual assaulting me. It continued until I was 14. I kept this a secret until I was 23 because I was sure it was my fault. Thanks for the message.
Jaceruth it’s never your fault. i hope you know that now. you’re strong for telling the truth. ❤️
@@meghanbradley8879 Like you, my faith in Jesus has been a comfort to me. I continue to work through nightmares and flashbacks. God is so good. Keep in his presence. Xoxo
Jaceruth, proud of you friend!!
This song is literally my childhood 😭 this made me cry so much. I always feel so broken 💔. This helped me to see that I was not in the wrong.
im glad you could see you weren’t in the wrong ❤️ i pray that you feel whole once again & soon. love you
Oh thank you so much your song has helped me so so much 💗 I am really struggling at the moment as I am now an adult finally living in my own place but am struggling with being alone because I was sexuallly abused I find it hard being alone as all of the abuse memories come back up. I was in fostercare so knowing that I have other people like you being confident enough to speak or sing about it makes me feel better.
Thank you xx
I needed this thank you
❤️❤️❤️
Omg I love your voice 😭❤
aw thank you ❤️❤️
I was raped by my brother from 10-15 i only recently got away from him and am slowly healing. Im a survivor but i would not wish that on my worst enemy. I wake up screaming feeling like i had gone through it again.
You all deserve so much love. I love you all.
This song sounds exactly like it was written about my experience. I've even gone to cops multiple times yet they don't do anything. The first person who molested and raped me got away with it for years all through my childhood till my brother told because he was also a victim of the same family member... Only he got closure but I didn't because I was older than my brother who told, I was female and they didn't believe me. I listened to them laugh in the other room where they were watching me say what happened. The truth is there hasn't been a single year where I was free from these people.
I was 13 then 14 15 16 . Its always made me cry at night even at morning . Im so tired fighting alone.
This is so beautiful❤️
Nice to hear that many of us have experienced similar things. It’s like a big community.
Ieva P agreed
I'm sorry that happened
Please put this on spotifyyyy🥺
Laurence Vr awww who knows! ❤️
To all the survivors like me out there... DON'T HURT YOURSELF!! IT IS NEVER YOUR FAULT.... DON'T HATE YOURSELF....you aren't alone.....I have done the same thing...
Cutting your wrist? Hating yourself? No love....i learned it was never your fault....
We'll make it together!! You have me.... Talk with me.... don't depress yourself with silence...... Like i did... Please ..... Your life.... Your smile.... your presence matters...
If you want any type of support and you want to open up about it...then please don't hesitate to share your tears with me..... Though I can't erase it but atleast i will reach out to you...
Im Female to Male transgender..most people think only guys can sexually assault someone...no...a girl (we'll call her Amy) did it to me sept 2018. and i felt i couldn't tell no one. I got with this amazing girl February 21 2019 (we're still together)...For the longest time, I was "Amys" only victim...until she hurt my girlfriend in late 2019.... Im touched by people in school, people in public, and in the past...even by family...and the fear will never leave me...the feeling...the thoughts....But I'm so glad i have an amazing girl to help ease my pain and keep my mind free.
I love the song and I'm proud of you
Myles Storm Cote hey. it hurts me to read this... you’re right, people overlook females raping men and it’s not okay. you have a voice and i’m glad you’re using it. i’m deeply sorry for you and your girlfriend. i pray you both find the peace you need to walk through this. i’m glad you have each other. the thoughts will get easier to maneuver through. you’re strong and brave. never forget that. 💗
As a "survivor" this really touched my heart❤️ :']
survivors! and i’m glad you liked it.
Is it wrong? To feel its your fault for somebody else's doing? I was assaulted by my cousin's boyfriend. And last Thursday, I broke down in tears. Ever since then, His eyes and the accident replays in my mind. It never bothered me I guess because I always just pushed it back. My parents know about it but, I never told them the details.
Thank yo for making people like me noticed
This is beautiful💕💕
This brought me back from feeling so hardened and angry...now I feel at peace again. Thank you for showing us we don't have to fight back we just have to stand up with our strength and reclaim our peace and live again. My sister's boyfriend did this to me 2 weeks ago but he's been arrested since he tried to kill my sister while super drunk and high. He assaulted me while me and my boyfriend were trying to calm him down so he wouldn't destroy more of the house but it took so long to get my Dad to call the cops and that hurts the most is I feel my dad still takes my sisters bf's side even though he tried to kill his own daughter and assault me his other daughter.
Tanya Katherine girl.... i can feel the pain in this comment. i’m so sorry 1. that you were sexually assaulted. that’s never easy or pleasant. 2. i’m sorry your sister was almost hurt. and 3. i’m sorry your dad won’t support you in the way he should. like you said, you have to claim your own peace again. i’m praying for your situation, added you to my prayer list. love you, if you need to talk you can DM me on insta!
@@meghanbradley8879 Thank you so much, I love you too. You have such a giving heart full of goodness and beauty. Sending so much love to you. I'd love to DM you on Insta. Thank you for the prayers for my family. May God and Jesus Christ Bless you and always Protect you, Amen!
Wow this song is absolutely beautiful it has such a beautiful meaning to it and even though This has never happened to me I feel a connection but in a since I think anyone could relate to this because many some one might have almost had happen to them
Wow if you ever see this This is such an amazing song and you have a beautiful voice and never give up on your dreams
thank you so so much. glad you felt some kind of connection to it!
I’m 17 years old now it was 6 years ago when he had stolen my identity,dignity and trust for people around me he got way with it and I’m still hurting it’s hard to trust people when my own cousin hurt me
I was only 6 years old and it never ended till 14 when he finally left my sister I’ll never forget or forgive for what he did to me he changed me
Prayers for all of you
