Writer's Block: More than words

I nearly never do these Writers block thingies, but hey.... Since everyone has posted such BRILLIANT songs in there LJ's lately, I figured I would to.

And this song means so damn much to me, you have no idea. It is not that I am a huge fan of Christina Aguilera. I am not. She got a brilliant voice, but so does many other singers. And I like some of her other songs, for sure. I like music. Period. But this song? First time I heard it almost broke down crying. Because it really spoke to me, you know? It still does. Why? Because I was really badly bullied for 7 or 8 years in school. It started when I was just 8 years old. I can still remember that day. Thats 25 years ago.... And always for how I locked. How fat I was. How disgusting I was. That I shouldn't exist.... Thank gawd I meet spicehobbit when we were 13. But that still leaves scars, you know. Scars I at times fight with to this day.

So this song... Beautiful... It is filling me with such joy, happiness and hope every time I hear it, you have no idea. I love it. I adore it. And I can't get enough of it.

So... Yeah. With that, I give you Christina Augileras song Beautiful. Listen to it. Listen to every fucking word. Look at every fucking image in the music vid. Look. Listen. And think twice.

I'm so sorry you were bullied at school. Children can be so horribly cruel.

I'm completely with you. The first time I heard this song, it touched me. The first time I saw the video, I bawled. All for the same reason as you. The scars are huge and mostly still pretty tender but oh yeah, this song. <3

definitely one of the most potent songs lyrically. and it doesn't hurt that her voice is FUCKING FANTASTIC.

<3 Oh bb girl, I can't imagine what you went through. I know how mean kids can be, but thank god life isn't like that after school or we'd all go off the deep end. You are beautiful and I think you are such a wonderful woman and in the end, that's what matters - your friends and your family love you.

Yeah I wasn't so sure what her deal was, because when she first came out she was this pop sensation and then all of a sudden she became this really slutty looking figure. But I think I had always liked her and when this song came out, I liked her even more.

Kids can be so mean. I got bullied in middle school I think, and it was terrible- but nowadays it's even worse if that's possible. Nowadays it extends to the internet, and text messaging, and facebook, and stuff. At least when we were kids we could go home and escape to books and best friends but in the era of the internet it follows those kids home. :(
