I was never sexually abused or raped, but I was verbally, emotionally, and physically abused, I had suicidal thoughts, I hated myself and felt worthless I still battle of the result of being abused, this song reminds me that I am beautiful and I am not worthless.
@@pattyboven8820 Father God, please surround Patty in comfort and grace, please release angels to encamp round about in a hedge of protection to minister to her in the Mighty of Jesus, thank you Jesus for loving us, Amen!!!
you're not worthless and I'm glad this song makes you realize that. I will keep you in my prayers. It's not easy and I'm in the same boat as you. I took my lessons from the jerks and the lesson was I can stand on my own and be in less pain. I'm not healed as we never really are. I just look forward to my purpose here and pray my daughter sees my pain and love for her so she never goes through this. If I could prevent her pain. God it was worth it in this cold cruel world at times. I look to the sky and always think it has to get better lord keep me close.
I've been raped by my biological grandfather and cousin in 15 foster homes and beat until I was adopted then it was emotional and physical abuse then my mom adopted another girl where she raped me for 15 years and I found out my biological father was murdered and my biological mother died as well I was raped in 2017 and almost killed myself twice that year had to be air lifted and still putting up with shit my adopted mom told me to just die and she wishes she never adopted me I'm 26 now and married to a wonderful man but still going through a lot
My grandfather and my great uncle rapped me it started when I was 8 and pasted till I was 16 I was hospitalized multiple times for suicidal actions I am now 18 off all meds have a family and am working on getting my GED and going to college. I have come so far in my life I know I'm still young but I've been through a lot and I am proud of were I am in life just keep y'all's heads up and keep moving forward
debbie stevens Look at where you are now compared to where you were before. That is proof that you have come far, and that you can continue to go far. Don't let anything make you feel ashamed of where you are now because you are exactly where you need to be, and that should fill you with joy.
I have never been abused in any way shape or form but I just wanted to say my heart is with those who have and you are all incredible people and I have such admiration for you.
People are missing the point. This isn't a song about hormonal teenage girls feeling "misunderstood" or rejected by a guy. It's about a little girl who has been sexually abused...
It doesn't even have to be about sexual abuse. This refers to any, if anything it felt more like emotional and verbal abuse that the song spoke of. Maybe even physical, but sexual doesn't cross my mind much.
Sammy Thepup i see. Thanks for clarifying. But i still think it could be used for any kind of abuse. Regardless, it's a very emotional and powerful song.
The little girl in this video is me. I posted this a long while ago when I was in a dark place. I did it so I could play the reminder every night. I’m in a much better place today. If you are in that dark place, get help! There is light and happiness on the other side. There is a place on the other side where you become strong enough to believe all this song says.
Thank you so much for posting the video & for using your pain to help heal so many others! Can you tell me a little about the beautiful woman in the video? God bless!❤
I've been battling with what happened to me for the first time 10 years ago and finally ended 5 years ago and I've still not accepted that it wasn't my fault but I feel like I will get there it'll just take longer than I originally thought
As a male adult survivor of childhood sexual abuse, I cried. This was my story. It took years of fear, confusion and alcoholism And 2 years of sobriety to make sense of my confused nightmares. Thanks.
I'm very glad you can feel better. I hate that people say males can't be assaulted as that is one of the biggest lies I've ever been told. Stay strong.💚💜🖤
I'm glad you were able to heal and also proud you for sharing your story. I know it's hard for men to open up about sexual abuse but unfortunately it does happen to them too. Hunny just remember that you are never alone in this awful battle. ❤️💜❤️💜
I said NO, but he didn't listen, he stole my innocence, my childhood, my peace, but with an amazing Husband and family, I'm learning to like myself and not feel so broken, so AMEN 💛💜
I am glad to hear that. No matter what happened to you it doesn't make any less valuable and loved. I am glad that you found someone who could show you that.
vgmlover thankyou so very much. It takes a lot of courage to speak out about such a sad & traumatic time in my life. It really hurts when you get someone with no compassion make disgusting comments like the heartless fool above. But if my speaking up helps even one person, then I'm glad. God bless
Same here but almost ended my life more than once then I listened to this song then it got me out of the stage that I was going to end my life and I'm still here
She's happy She has a amazing life She's not depressed So people say she's absolutely fine Yeah say that to her Trust issues and anxiety But that's nothing in this world Instead of getting help She tries to help others She tries to make people happy Yet She can barely stay happy She'll never cry in front of her friends She won't cry on her own They think She's fine She is, to others that is This girl She isn't me She is my friend She hides it well I must admit Yet it's impossible to not see the sadness Her other friends are oblivious as hell She deserves love She deserves so much more than she actually has She is beautiful Orange hair freckles blue eyes short feisty loving She'd do anything for me and her friends
That is also my amazing friend who I don't know in real life and she lives a state away from me but I can't say that that is her she does so much for everyone but she can't talk to anyone else she can't even trust her family but I can say I would be in a much worse place if it wasn't for my amazing twinie and I try to help her all I can because no one else can see her hurt
That's me tho I have one friend but it only helps so much I have to keep everything in because I don't want to be pathetic and nothing help and I can't cry because it shows weakness but it will get better right?
But depression and PTSD from the sexual abuse is the worst been hospitalized 3 times in my 30s in a psych ward it's not easy I'm dying inside why is it hitting now
You are more worthy than you ever know. Beautiful shine bright diamond 💎 precious, beautiful, magical in your own amazing ways. Prayers hugs love blessings strength from far 💜💜🥰🥰🙏🙏❤🌹🌺🌺
@@krislyngrimes3832 prayers love hugs strength blessings from far. You are magical in the people there eyes that loves you dearly. Big hug and God's loves you more 💜🥰🙏❤🌹🌺
Hearing this song makes me realize that no matter what has happened in my life, I'm loved and forgiven. I no longer have to stay broken. Today I am beautiful and blessed.
I was physically abused by my mom. Sexually abused by her deputy sheriff friend. My dad was kind but abused by my mom. We (my twin) and I were placed in foster care. I was lost broken scared. Teachers and good foster parents took interest and cps worker. I graduated high school with support of amazing teachers despite being broken suicidal. I went to Lake Erie college so could play volleyball basketball. Struggled through depressed suicidal. I pushed through graduated. Found God through my dad and amazing step mom. Moved to Texas met my amazing husband with two amazing boys and now have our own son. Completed my masters degree obtained my counseling license. Worked in crisis management for 16.5 years in mental health clinic. I beat odds. Don't have to stay broken. God had me since child. I can look back see Him
I was molested by my own cousin at age 8. I was so confused and lost. I couldn't understand how or why someone would do that to me. I grew up hating men, I couldn't be around them without having an anxiety attack. I was a broken girl. I felt worthless and ashamed of something my cousin did to me. I had nightmares almost every night about my cousin doing things to me, and this affected me in such a scary way. In my first 2 years of high school I suffered from depression because of my social anxiety. I was so scared to talk to anyone because I thought they were all gonna hurt me. I then found God. He made me feel peace, joy, happiness. I was soooo broken and he picked up all the pieces (even the little tiny ones) and put them back together. He made me new. I am new. I am not that sad scared girl anymore. I am a child of God.
Same. My older brother used to molest me a lot when I was younger (it stopped when I was 5). Now I just face physical abuse from my younger brother, and that is dying down too. Because of this, I find it quite difficult to trust guys, but God is working with me on that. God is my sanctuary, and he has saved me!
Dannna March amen! aleluya! God is great He heals He is amazing Never loose your faith for we walk by faith with Jesus Christ love you sister in Christ❤
Emotional sexual abused & verbally abused by both my narcissist parents. Jesus used me to break that curse in my family and with his help I was able to realize in good time that I was becoming a parent just like mine. Now I'm free from those chains, still healing slowly but surely. To God be the Glory.
I'm glad there is a place on RUclips where we share each other's hurt. It brings the world a little closer together when we all can relate to each other and pray!!
I totally agree i used to have a friend who was being abused very badly by her father and she comented about it on youtube and someone from her school saw it and talked to her about the next day and helped her tell someone about what was happening and now she living with her aunt in texas. If you ever need someone to talk to anonymously talk to us. Becaude we will try to help you. You can also always talk and pray to God about because he will send something or someone or even help you get out of the situation your in. Know that God has a plan for you you just have to follow and belive that God will help you and he will. God bless you all. If you have not heard the song mended by matthew west. You may see broken but God will always see mended. God bless you all and know that you are not a victim but a victor.
Rachel Patton notice the vulgar in the words "victim shaming " ? I do and ur not alone, and low the heavens open up to a new beginning and behold all ash is made a new, into a bright and beautiful art, unlike the world has seen before
Crystal Dunham I pray you don't have to feel broken anymore. Jesus died so that you can be free to move beyond the shackles that your past have put you in. You can be free to do whatever you want, and you are more valuable then you can even imagine.
To whoever is reading this, you are not worthless. 💖You may be broken now, but with Jesus, you'll never stay broken. You are loved, but most importantly, you are loved by God. I know how it feels to not have anyone to turn to, when you're going through a dark time. I'm here if anyone needs someone to talk to, or just to listen. 💙💙 Remember that you are worthy, and you have a purpose here. Trust God, he knows what he has in store for you. 😊
I was that little girl at one time!! I had a son out of rape, by my dad!! I've learned how to forgive, and I know longer blame myself, I had to forgive my dad, that's the only way I could ever heal and move on in life!! I'm now 45 with a beautiful son!! who will be 30 years old, 6 days before my 46 birthday, God Gave me the strength to move forward in life, you will never forget your past or who harmed you, but you will heal & grow into the person You are now!! God gives his strongest soldiers battles he himself knows they will win!! God bless each & everyone of you! You are absolutely beautiful and loved, don't forget that!! love overpowers all things ❤
Melanie Easley I was abuse my father too at a young age. Then my Husband mentally and verbally abuse me. The two man I look up too and loved. I forgave them both and I was heal. I am living now for the Lord amen
The song absolutely unraveled me. I was absolutely one of those broken girls, which, unfortunately is all too common in the deep south it took years of therapy, and then finally it took Jesus to make the hurt go away and praise God I am broken no longer.!
I'm the broken little girl. My step father sexually and verbally abused me. Even bits of physical abuse happened to me. I'm still healing from what happened..(It happened two years ago. I was thirteen. He was forty eight.)
The strength is in you. You are a survivor. You dont even have to say words for God to take the war away when it gets too loud inside of you. Accept him into your heart and look up! All I have to think is PLEASE!! That's how I know there is a God. Truly know. I cant even calm my own storm or make it stop. He is there. You are never alone
Im sorry that you had to go through that. I understand exactly what you went through and how you are feeling now. I was 6 when my dad sexually abused me. It went on for 8 years. The days that I refused he would beat me with his belt. He always told he I was never going to do anything with my life. Im 48 now and I still struggle with this. Praying is what is getting me through this. I will keep you in my Prayers.
Be strong dear.. Jesus is there for you. You are not alone. Just cry out to the Lord. Jesus is broken so you become whole again. You are worthy and beautifully made. None can take that from you. Your life is precious. Don't let the past destroy your future. Jesus loves you so. And He already prove it on the Calvary. God bless you dear.
As a survivor of rape at age 11, as an abuse survivor, (all kinds mental, emotional, physical, verbal, and sexual) this song really hits close to home. When I’d go to church and they’d make me feel it was my fault when they’d talk about how if you’re not a virgin it’s a sin etc. I felt so worthless and suicidal until I met my current boyfriend he’s done so much for me and he’s changed me.
The same happened to me by many people and nobody would believe me until I told my dad years later I wish I had told somebody when it was happening for a year all most everyday strait. He told me it was my fault and I would get in trouble if I told anybody.
@@izzyreese5597 It's okay, it's not your fault and you will not get in trouble if you told it to anyone. When you first went through it, you probably couldn't process what is happening or what has happened and it's okay but it is not okay to not speak up. Stay strong dear, I know you can do it and heal the wound, I am with you
I had something similar happened to me. I’m 16 and from the time I was 6 until 12 I was sexually, emotionally, mentally, verbally, and physically abused by a friend of my dad’s that was living with us. My family didn’t know until he moved out with his girlfriend because I was too afraid to tell anyone. Both of my parents worked full time and were almost always at work at the time so they didn’t know about the physical, mental, emotional, or verbal abuse either. We didn’t have security cameras then. I was never hit in the face or anywhere that clothes wouldn’t cover a bruise which was honestly very inconvenient for me because I was not planning on telling anyone so no one knew except me and my dad’s ex friend. I did end up telling my family when I was 14 and my parents believed be because they know that I don’t lie.
I would find a better church. Jesus loves you and will never make you feel like that was ever your fault. He’ll never make you ashamed; He sets free. Find a church with the love of God in it. Trust me, the place you get the Word from have a big impact on how you see and feel about yourself.
No one, no one,is Worthless and I am sorry that anyone had to go through that,but JESUS paid it all for the broken girls,boys, everyone, You are prescious, beautiful beyond words, Imagine how much the people that do love you,& take that times infinity and beyond,that's how much God loves us, we have all been broken somehow,but don't have to stay broke,Thankyou Jesus.😇😇😇
Thanks Niki for including broken boys. I have felt worthless and weak as a gay man for so many years. I don't have anyone who really loves me but Jesus, and the fact that Jesus died for me makes me worthy and not broken today; scarred, flawed but not broken.
To all that has or broken, please don't give up! I am a proof of someone that's been healed. It is a process, but with God anything is possible. I am soo blessed that God chosen me as his child. I am loved and to know such peace. This world belongs to Satan and as true Christians we have to stay strong and not conformed to this world. We Godly people know that he is coming soon. God be with you and keep you strong!
I don't believe I will be fixed anymore cuz ive prayed so many time but none of them were answered so I stopped and I just keep getting huet and ppl make me become "the broken girl"
@@skyelarw5950 Never give up!!! God is always by your side, even when you can't see him. Just because they sun doesn't when you tell it to, doesn't mean it won't when it's the right time. I know it's hard, but God never said it would be easy. But he is with us and is building us up into a new creation.
I was that broken girl when I was young, but Jesus did heal me completely. Run into His arms, He really does comfort. Pray for your abuser, I know that this sounds strange, but it will help you to heal. God loves you and I do too.
Wtf im not praying for the girl who sexually,physically,mentaly,and emotionally abused and raped me ava if ur reading this fuck u and as for u bible thumpers THERE IS NO PROOF JESUS OR GOD IS REAL and stop pushing your bullshit beliefs on people
This song means so much more than sexual abuse! I was adopted out of a foster home at 9 years old after my biological mother had an ungoldy relationship with another man who made it clear he didn't love me or want me at all..I overcame it after a while but this song just feels like its about me. About how much I can become that strong girl I am trying to be.
Everyone is precious. If your damaged take time to heal You means something to someone in this world. Don’t let someone take you away form this world. You are amazing. God loves you. I love you. You are loved. Don’t throw away life You only have one. Stop cutting. Stop listening to people’s hurtful comments they must be hurt too and hurting someone else makes them feel better. You are one of a kind. Love yourself for who you are. You are you. 💗🌹
Bless you. It's nice to read that someone out there cares. I wish more people could know that no matter how belitted and bullied they've been treated, that there is always someone else out there that cares. I wish more people cared and showed it.
This song hits home so hard every time I hear I break down because I was the victim of physical,emotional,verbal abuse..and from that abuse I have PTSD and Trust Issues with people...but I'm getting stronger everyday I keep my FAITH..
+brittany parrish i have the same thing its hard with PTSD everyday but i keep trying and i sometimes i hide in my room for days some times but i get though the day
I was that broken girl. I always thought to love is to hurt. But Jesus taught me what love is. The real love is thank you Jesus. Tha you for sharing. God bless you❤
This song...I don't know how to react to this. At a young age my birth dad made it quite obvious that he didn't want or love me. Listening to the lyrics, it made me feel like the song was directed to me. It's been 4 years since I moved into foster care-I'm 16 now. This song helps things so much ❤️️
OH JESUS ,THANKYOU FATHER. FOR THOSE WORDS THAT YOU KNOW I NEEDED TO HEAR THIS MINUTE.HOW WONDERFUL IS YOUR MIRACULOUS HEALING POWER COMING THROUGH AT YOUR RIGHT TIMING.Thankyou Father GOD .👍🐴🌵
This song really hits home for me. Growing up my dad was very verbally and emotionally abusive to me. He caused me to have suicidal thoughts, I used to cut myself. I literally hated myself. He put me down so bad, he made me believe every single word. Since I've been saved I have chosen to forgive him. Its been hard. I still suffer from anxiety and depression with God's love I can conquer anything in this life. I used to be the broken girl. Now the Lord has made me whole again ❤❤❤
Hallelujah!!! YOU ARE AMAZING!!!! I have experienced exactly what you went through except it was my mother. I haven't found the time or energy to forgive her yet but you are so, so strong to have forgiven him. That makes you a better person and the Lord is amazing, he works in very mysterious ways. God Bless Your Soul and I pray you are doing better now!!
I know the feeling and its hard. Several times almost committed suicide because of it. But there is hope, I know. And PTSD doesn't define who we are nor does what's happened to us
Heather Ariza-Parker No it doesn't. You just have to be strong. Give it all to God tell him you can't do it alone. Ask him go take all this pain and carry you. Do not let Satan win, if you commit suicide you will let him win. Please be strong. He healed me and gave me strength and now I am strong. 💛💗
you are beautiful and you will survive. i dont know if youve ever seen the movie Split. but it was an eye opener for me at the end. "the broken are the more evolved. rejoice" we wouldnt be who we are today if we didnt suffer. we are stronger for it. better for it. we see the world for what it truly is. and find beauty where others may not. it is a terrible horrible gift this suffering. just remember....you are powerful. you are mighty. and you can overcome anything. my heart is with you. i dont know you but...i love you. and i wish you peace and all the love you so deserve my friend
I wrote these lyrics on a paper, as well as many more. I left a unknown message for my best friend, who is depressed and seeing her cry those happy tears made me cry myself.
Matthew West is right when he says "You're not the worthless they made you feel. There is a love they can never steal away. And you don't have to stay the broken girl." It takes time and a lot of healing, and years after the initial pain leaves a shadow is left. But it is well worth the effort, and these three sentences will become reality and not just a dream.
I was sexually, physically and mentally abused by my father til I was 21. I'm 26 right now and it hours when you look back. People who haven't experienced it themselves can't say "Omg! I relate so much!" It actually hurts people who have EXPERIENCED it.
For 14 years I was verbally and emotionality abused by my biological father. He minlupted me into thinking the problems were my fault. I use to push my dresser against my door, because my door didn't have a lock, out of fear for my own safety. On the worst nights, I would go as far as peeing in a cup so I didn't have to leave my room. I still find it hard to trust people, and tend to lash out at people out of fear. For so long I told myself that it wasn't "real abuse",and that I was just being dramatic and overly sensitive, and I convinced myself that if I was a better daughter things would be better. Now that I'm older, and have loving step dad, I understand what a dad should be, and what a dad shouldn't be. A father should love, protect, provide, and care for their children, my biological father was never like that. He is cruel, selfish, greedy, and incapable of love.
I'm sorry that you were treated so unfairly. You deserve more than that, and I'm glad you could find that through your stepdad. You're valuable and I'm glad you could learn that.
Maddie it shows how strong you are, that you understand that it was never your fault. Its good to know that you have stepfather that has shown you there are good men out there too. I had a similar childhood. Except my stepfather was abusive verbally and emotionally. I remember pushing my dresser in front of door too. His anger in his voice. Pounding on the other side of that door and yelling about how much worse it would be if I didn't move the dresser....the fear that runs through your mind as a child...huh I never share personal things like this. Well it was just one of many frightening things that happened. There are so many others that went through so much worse. :'(
Have you ever stopped and thought what YOU did to make him react like that? Do you think he just woke up one day wanting to dislike his daughter ? Chances are you probably acted like a brat and ungrateful to what he does for you, like many teen girls do, even adult men can only take so much. I'm glad you do not act as spoilt in front of your step father though
TSOC believe me, I believed that for meny years. It was a damaging way of thinking for me, no matter how hard I tried nothing changed. No child should be affraid if their father. No one should have nightmares about their past. He physically abused my older sister for years. You can't tell me a loving father would do that to their kids.
Maddie I'm glad to be able to change your thinking. I think far too many kids have the mindset that their abuse was their own fault. Any rational person could tell you that there is never an excuse to abuse someone, but abusers aren't rational and victims usually have their rationality damaged. You show real strength for being able to realize that you had a damaging way to think, and changing it, and realizing that it wasn't your fault. I'm glad you're safe not with a loving father that shows you how a father should be.
I have read so many of the comments on this page! This song is about healing from abuse!! God loves us and wants all the broken pieces of our lives so He can put htem back together again! The first several times I heard this sog I cried now I know it is abou tso much more then the abuse! I am an abuse survivor!! I was sexually abused by two older cousins for years. I was physically and emotional abused by my own dad for decades, and I have even been emotionally abused by so called friends! The one real truth in all of this is GOd loves you NO MATTER WHAT! God wants to mend your hearts, minds and emotions from it all, he can if we just let him! I know because I am healed! For all that read this and think no one cares your wrong I care and I will listen!! My dream is for someday no body has to suffer abuse every again!
Lisa Malone 3 hours ago (edited) TO ALL THE WOMEN WHO HAVE POSTED AND WILL POST. I would like to start a support group for anyone who wants help healing from their wounds. It doesn't have to be sexually related, it can be anything that has created wounds. Bullying, neglect, physical, emotional, or sexual. I am reaching out to try to help anyone who wants to respond. Facebook, LEAH MALONE. I will post a comment "MATTHEW WEST".I hope to hear from you on Facebook. We can do this together!!
+gaditesisinthetruth that is a horrid thing to say, it may have been written for CSA survivors but if somebody has been abused in another way then who the hell are you to deny them?
+Peg Pish CSA = child sexual abuse. to those arguing the song: it's written about CSA survivors, like myself. But it can help survivors of multiple forms of abuse.
I'm connecting just well with it, and I was physically abused,and am currently mentally abused. I believe it's up to the listener to find their meaning, even if the song writer had a different idea
Thank you for making this video. My past has made me feel broken, but I know now that there IS a love they can never steal away, and that is the love from God.
@@itsdigiorno9450 God helps us in different ways than what we exspect. He is helping you but maybe you don't understand how yet. You have to believe and have faith. God never fails
@@vickieminhas6592 Dude, I don't care. I dont believe in God the same way you do. I don't believe that he helps us. He just watches us grow. But thats about it.
@@vickieminhas6592 Besides, what was God thinking when he sent out 3 men to sexually assault me? If you say that was part of his "great plan" then I swear, I will personally crucify someone.
@@itsdigiorno9450 he didn't send anyone to assault you that happens to you coz people in this world are sick and evil bit that's not God's fault. I was also asulted at 6 and my mum did nothing. But I don't blame God. It was not God's plan no. Of course not! God's plan is for everyone to live in peace forever. Those people that hurt u will answer to God one day. I know u don't believe he helps us but he does, just not in ways we think. Sometimes I am inpatient and think he doesn't care but he does. It more than watching us grow he does love us. He wants whats best for us. But we are living amount the most inhumane people who do disgusting horrifying terrible things and that is not what God intended at all and one day he will stop all.
This song is such a wonderful messages to all the "Broken Girls" It just made me cry.... I love it when he says "You don't have to stay the broken girl" And "Your not the worthless they made you feel" Those two parts touched me the most.. Because it's right.. We don't have to stay the broken girl.. We can be SO much more.. And we are, in Gods eyes.. And We are not worthless we are amazing!! And if your around people who don't make you feel that way, then that don't deserve to know you.. When people talk behind your back.. Just remember, they're behind you for a reason...
Coming from this survivor who has found healing, sisters please don't give up. You are so strong, and you WILL get through this. Something was stolen from us, yes, but we survived. Keep moving forward, one step at a time, just focus on that one step and it will get better in time. Seek help and healing, there is 0 shame in talking to someone who can help. I was used at 4 and 14, in every way possible, and it took me 20 years to be able to publicly acknowledge my past. To break the hold it had on me. I sought help and my counselor saved my life. I found others who understood the wounds and pain we're left with, and it was comforting to know I wasn't the only one struggling. There are more of us than we realize. Keep holding on, keep fighting, you're not alone.❤
If someone is telling you that you're worthless, unimportant, weak or stupid than don't listen because it shows that they are heartless and need you to show them the truth. If you're hurting and broken up inside then tell an adult like a teacher, friend or neighbor because you are never as alone as you feel. If someone is trying to reach out to you, then instead of pushing them away, take their hand. No one can make you feel bad about yourself unless you let them.
..I never realized I've been hurt until recently.. But I don't think I'm broken. Not yet. No matter how many cracks or how many holes, it seems I just don't know when to give up. So as long as I never give up, I'll never be broken. I can take every hit, even though it still hurts... Does that make sense?
Yes, it does make sense. Keep fighting just like you have been and pray to God for help you, and whatever is trying to break you will cease. Never give up
Sirenix Prime To be honest, I really don't notice much.. Besides, my mother always said I had a good relationship with God. She said it was very seeable.
I just want to say that everyone this has happened to. Both girls and guys. You ARE STRONG!! They may have hurt you in the past, but you CAN trust again! I've been scared myself and it took me many years to understand what happened to me. People told me, "He never had intercourse so it's not rape." But it is! Anything against your will, forcing you or hurting you is rape. Speak up! Don't let them shut you down! And bare your fangs! You CAN fight back!
Thank u for the kind words u are loved I was sexually and physically abused but I survived both at times I feel broken but hearing this song and all the kind comments makes me feel not so alone God bless u
Hello, this is Donald. I don't know how people could possibly be so cruel and insensitive. What happened to you was very clearly wrong. I am so sorry it everhappened to you. But, it sounds like you're doing your best to make a good adjustment if those are even the right words. I've been blind since birth and am typing this with my talking computer. I'm finding it very hard to type this properly because I feel so bad not only for what happened to you but also for what someone had the utter nerve to say back to you. I want to say God bless you and God love you. Now, I'm going to check this for any typing mistakes because I care that much for you.
I did but no one believed me, that's why so many stay silent because of fear of not being believed and then getting worse punishment. It's having courage to find another way out!
same here I've been abused in every way possible and it's still happening I can relate to this song so much I'm a broken girl and I've tried to end my life so many times I don't want to feel this pain anymore I feel so worthless and alone I have no-one I've cried so much I don't know how I still have tears left to cry all I want to do is lay down and die
Hey heatherlynn bless if you are still being abused you need to get jelp and tell someone my grandmother told me tell my mother anout what my dad was doing to me and i did and i got out of that situation. Please tell someone and this goes to every one out there if your being abused of bullied or hurt in any way you need to tell someone and get out of thet situation please.know you are never alone you have God to talk to and he will always send you away to get out of the situation you are in And if you dont have anyone to talk to talk to me
I was so strong in my faith I felt worthy and loved by jesus then it got took off me so fast and then my daughter brought my family back in my life and then all came flooding back like a lighting and the cold cold world and ministry that made me feel worthless. Put her back together again to sevin thanks and Stuart and my kids name calling attacks and to my parents all of them excluding Kathleen as I know u loved me and that's enough that I know that now as an adult thanks for your letter mum I miss u I don't blame u. Wow all I can say is this was amazing song cold cold world I have seen recently for sure especially with one who destroyed me more than most as everyone can see I was so strong in the faith and all lost. God bless u all. I will follow my dreams regardless. Thanks for showing me when I come away from people I can achieve anything. Thank u.
To all the broken girls you don't have to stay broken I found a way to become whole. God. He loves you and so do I. Don't let those who broke you win..
I'm sorry Blake, I don't know what to say except that those who broke you aren't what you should define yourself by. I was beaten, raped abused and told I was a worthless tramp at the age of nine until I was 18. I found out thru self examination that it was the ones who did it to me that were the ones who were worthless not me.. I found I was worthy of loving my self and others loving me. You just have to know that it's the ones who broke you that are worthless broken pieces of dirt.. Not you..
Ultimate song. yes, brings back the pain from sexual abuse I hid for 28 years, N the rapes I hid.....but the sick reality helps me recognize that just bc I could not go to MY parents or ANYONE, I raised my 4 children in an open communication environment. when traumas hit MY DAUGHTERS, they had ME. I faught for them.. .and will never stop.
+Genale Rambler - You and me both. I never understood that mom "didn't know". Everyone now claims that it was "that time". I look at my sons (who are grown now) and I can NEVER think of a time that I haven't or wouldn't have stood up for them regardless!!!!!!!!!!!
I can totally relate to this song. I was abuse in so many ways. Starting at a baby my mother never cared about me. I was very under weight and had rags on when my fathers parents got me. The abuse never stopped there. I'd been abused in every way possible even as an adult. I ened up in a DV shelter in 18 n then in a homeless shelter in 19 n then out on the streets n then another homeless shelter in 20 untill God provided me with my first apartment
I stumble across this song long ago.... I never thought one day I related to it so much... I’m so glad this song exist. I’m not broken ...what he did to me was not my fault.
I was never sexually abused, but I was verbally abused and in my pain i lashed out and hurt others, i was lost and scared and broken inside, trapped inside a cycle of pain and hate, everything changed when I found god, he helped me to escape that cycle and made me a better person
Lisa Malone 3 hours ago (edited) TO ALL THE WOMEN WHO HAVE POSTED AND WILL POST. I would like to start a support group for anyone who wants help healing from their wounds. It doesn't have to be sexually related, it can be anything that has created wounds. Bullying, neglect, physical, emotional, or sexual. I am reaching out to try to help anyone who wants to respond. Facebook, LEAH MALONE. I will post a comment "MATTHEW WEST".I hope to hear from you on Facebook. We can do this together!!
From the ages of 10 to 21, I was emotionally and mentally abused by my now ex-stepfather. It hurt that my mother, the one who is suppose to make me feel safe, stood by and watched. Then refused to help when I begged. Yet, when he did the same to her, I helped her. It's been a long road of healing and mending a relationship with my mom, but we're making it work.
My parents told me that God named me and after listening to this song I now know why he picked the name Hannah. The definition of the name Hannah means grace. This is him telling me that I'm the grace that will piece me back together because he made me a strong worrior and a child of God.
I relate to this song for a different reason than most of you do. I relate to this on a mental abuse level, but it is I that is doing the abusing. I used to have so much self-hate in my heart. I used to slice up my skin, and when i found this song, I found peace. I no longer felt like the girl who had been pushed aside by the cold world. The Lord has put the puzzle of broken pieces that is me back together. He made me feel as if I was actually wanted in this world, and this song has, on many occasions, saved my life. Thank you, Matthew West.
I grew up with an emotionally and verbally abusive father.. I've had body image and self esteem issues since I was little. when I was 18, I got into an mentally abusive relationship and when I left, i was completely torn down. I gained so much weight from overeating, had anxiety attacks every day & tried committing suicide multiple times. I really was convinced that I am not good enough for anything and that I have no purpose.. years later, I have found a man who loves and treats me like a queen. we have been together for 3 years and I never once imagined my life would drastically improve, that I'd find peace within myself and forgive those who have broken me. You don't have to stay broken, you can put those pieces back together and be a beautiful work of art 💗 PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP!!!! Stay strong and remember that you are amazing, you are good enough and you will be successful in whatever you do. I love you all 💗
Wow words can not express how closely this song has hit my heart, as a child sexually abused by her own father, I spent years broken and battered by the sheer memory of what happened to me, I was left with PTSD, severe anxiety and depression, but I’m learning to be a survivor not only for myself but for my children, I’m learning to not be the broken girl anymore!

True that
I was never sexually abused or raped, but I was verbally, emotionally, and physically abused, I had suicidal thoughts, I hated myself and felt worthless I still battle of the result of being abused, this song reminds me that I am beautiful and I am not worthless.

ksilas78 smas with me
you're not worthless and I'm glad this song makes you realize that. I will keep you in my prayers. It's not easy and I'm in the same boat as you. I took my lessons from the jerks and the lesson was I can stand on my own and be in less pain. I'm not healed as we never really are. I just look forward to my purpose here and pray my daughter sees my pain and love for her so she never goes through this. If I could prevent her pain. God it was worth it in this cold cruel world at times. I look to the sky and always think it has to get better lord keep me close.
I've been raped by my biological grandfather and cousin in 15 foster homes and beat until I was adopted then it was emotional and physical abuse then my mom adopted another girl where she raped me for 15 years and I found out my biological father was murdered and my biological mother died as well I was raped in 2017 and almost killed myself twice that year had to be air lifted and still putting up with shit my adopted mom told me to just die and she wishes she never adopted me I'm 26 now and married to a wonderful man but still going through a lot
I have the same story
My grandfather and my great uncle rapped me it started when I was 8 and pasted till I was 16 I was hospitalized multiple times for suicidal actions I am now 18 off all meds have a family and am working on getting my GED and going to college. I have come so far in my life I know I'm still young but I've been through a lot and I am proud of were I am in life just keep y'all's heads up and keep moving forward
I'm proud of you too for being able to overcome so much, and I pray that you can grow to be even more amazing.
debbie stevens
Look at where you are now compared to where you were before. That is proof that you have come far, and that you can continue to go far. Don't let anything make you feel ashamed of where you are now because you are exactly where you need to be, and that should fill you with joy.
Keep your face to the wind and never let the enemy take your future. You are not defined by someone's sin. Todd White
Wow, you are amazing. Praying for you!
Good for you! You are amazing
I have never been abused in any way shape or form but I just wanted to say my heart is with those who have and you are all incredible people and I have such admiration for you.
Annie Harding I wish everyone thought they way you do
Thanks, but you are a good person, and a good person is just a important as a strong person.
Thank you..
Same
It means a lot to us
People are missing the point. This isn't a song about hormonal teenage girls feeling "misunderstood" or rejected by a guy. It's about a little girl who has been sexually abused...
Thank you!!!
:/ this song brings me to tears because This happened to me
It doesn't even have to be about sexual abuse. This refers to any, if anything it felt more like emotional and verbal abuse that the song spoke of. Maybe even physical, but sexual doesn't cross my mind much.
Distant Dreams Matthew West said that he made this song because he couldn't believe how many little girls are sexually abused at a young age
Sammy Thepup i see. Thanks for clarifying. But i still think it could be used for any kind of abuse. Regardless, it's a very emotional and powerful song.
The little girl in this video is me. I posted this a long while ago when I was in a dark place. I did it so I could play the reminder every night. I’m in a much better place today. If you are in that dark place, get help! There is light and happiness on the other side. There is a place on the other side where you become strong enough to believe all this song says.
Thank you so much for posting the video & for using your pain to help heal so many others! Can you tell me a little about the beautiful woman in the video? God bless!❤
Sending love prayers strength hugs blessings from far ❤ 💖 💗 💙 💕 ♥ 🙏🙏💜💜🤟
How're you now?
I've been battling with what happened to me for the first time 10 years ago and finally ended 5 years ago and I've still not accepted that it wasn't my fault but I feel like I will get there it'll just take longer than I originally thought
How did you move on I keep having nightmares about it every night I just want it to be over please tell me how to get through this
As a male adult survivor of childhood sexual abuse, I cried. This was my story. It took years of fear, confusion and alcoholism And 2 years of sobriety to make sense of my confused nightmares. Thanks.
I'm glad you could start to feel better.
There's a man eating I'm so proud of you. Society has two different rules. It took a great deal of courage and strength for you to face it.
I'm very glad you can feel better. I hate that people say males can't be assaulted as that is one of the biggest lies I've ever been told. Stay strong.💚💜🖤
@@ender__ash1327 thank you
I'm glad you were able to heal and also proud you for sharing your story. I know it's hard for men to open up about sexual abuse but unfortunately it does happen to them too. Hunny just remember that you are never alone in this awful battle. ❤️💜❤️💜
I said NO, but he didn't listen, he stole my innocence, my childhood, my peace, but with an amazing Husband and family, I'm learning to like myself and not feel so broken, so AMEN 💛💜
I am glad to hear that. No matter what happened to you it doesn't make any less valuable and loved. I am glad that you found someone who could show you that.
vgmlover Thankyou so much for your kind words, I'm very greatful 😊
Cathy Barnett
You're husband is very lucky to have such an amazing women at his side.
vgmlover thankyou so very much. It takes a lot of courage to speak out about such a sad & traumatic time in my life. It really hurts when you get someone with no compassion make disgusting comments like the heartless fool above. But if my speaking up helps even one person, then I'm glad. God bless
so happy for you :)
I love this I'm broken but alive
Same I'm broken as you
Same here I'm broken 💔😢😢😢
Same here but almost ended my life more than once then I listened to this song then it got me out of the stage that I was going to end my life and I'm still here
What is broken can be crafted into a vision of beauty no matter what the starting parts were.

HUG BACK!
I needed this. And to all the other broken girls out there listening to this, keep you're head high. It will be okay, one day ❤️
She's happy
She has a amazing life
She's not depressed
So people say she's absolutely fine
Yeah say that to her Trust issues and anxiety
But that's nothing in this world
Instead of getting help
She tries to help others
She tries to make people happy
Yet She can barely stay happy
She'll never cry in front of her friends
She won't cry on her own
They think She's fine
She is, to others that is
This girl
She isn't me
She is my friend
She hides it well I must admit
Yet it's impossible to not see the sadness
Her other friends are oblivious as hell
She deserves love
She deserves so much more than she actually has
She is beautiful
Orange hair freckles blue eyes short feisty loving
She'd do anything for me and her friends
That is also my amazing friend who I don't know in real life and she lives a state away from me but I can't say that that is her she does so much for everyone but she can't talk to anyone else she can't even trust her family but I can say I would be in a much worse place if it wasn't for my amazing twinie and I try to help her all I can because no one else can see her hurt
I understand that. Tbh, that is me. it's hard. im hoping that i will let Jesus back into my life.
My girlfriend, shes almost the exact same...
Certified Klutz please do he’s everything
That's me tho I have one friend but it only helps so much I have to keep everything in because I don't want to be pathetic and nothing help and I can't cry because it shows weakness but it will get better right?
My teacher played this song in class once to show that even when your hurt you are strong and I just burst into tears
Your teacher was both very brave and wise to play this in a school. I hope you are in a better place now.
Not going to get into details but hearing this song helped me realize that it was never my fault.
I will pray for you if it helps
+Dragonstar 1234 it does thank you.
its never your fault...never....
I'm with you. It wasn't your fault. It wasn't my fault. It's never anyones fault.

This song helped me realize that the abuse i have gone through since i was five, was never my fault. i am not worthless...
But depression and PTSD from the sexual abuse is the worst been hospitalized 3 times in my 30s in a psych ward it's not easy I'm dying inside why is it hitting now
Its never your fault. Never.

I was physically abused by my mom. Sexually abused by her deputy sheriff friend. My dad was kind but abused by my mom. We (my twin) and I were placed in foster care. I was lost broken scared. Teachers and good foster parents took interest and cps worker. I graduated high school with support of amazing teachers despite being broken suicidal. I went to Lake Erie college so could play volleyball basketball. Struggled through depressed suicidal. I pushed through graduated. Found God through my dad and amazing step mom. Moved to Texas met my amazing husband with two amazing boys and now have our own son. Completed my masters degree obtained my counseling license. Worked in crisis management for 16.5 years in mental health clinic. I beat odds. Don't have to stay broken. God had me since child. I can look back see Him
Sad story but I'm gad you believe in god and basicly have faith in him.
Im so proud of you
damnnnn! this is powerful.Amen!
I was molested by my own cousin at age 8. I was so confused and lost. I couldn't understand how or why someone would do that to me. I grew up hating men, I couldn't be around them without having an anxiety attack. I was a broken girl. I felt worthless and ashamed of something my cousin did to me. I had nightmares almost every night about my cousin doing things to me, and this affected me in such a scary way. In my first 2 years of high school I suffered from depression because of my social anxiety. I was so scared to talk to anyone because I thought they were all gonna hurt me. I then found God. He made me feel peace, joy, happiness. I was soooo broken and he picked up all the pieces (even the little tiny ones) and put them back together. He made me new. I am new. I am not that sad scared girl anymore. I am a child of God.
Same. My older brother used to molest me a lot when I was younger (it stopped when I was 5). Now I just face physical abuse from my younger brother, and that is dying down too. Because of this, I find it quite difficult to trust guys, but God is working with me on that. God is my sanctuary, and he has saved me!
Dannna March amen! aleluya! God is great He heals He is amazing Never loose your faith for we walk by faith with Jesus Christ love you sister in Christ❤
Dannna Mar
all glory to God ..my father molested me and my two sister's and he finally when I let him healed me
I love your testimony! Praise God for healing you! God has healed me too! :D
anyone here 2020 and still crying every time they hear this song because it reminds them of the past
every day......
Emotional sexual abused & verbally abused by both my narcissist parents. Jesus used me to break that curse in my family and with his help I was able to realize in good time that I was becoming a parent just like mine. Now I'm free from those chains, still healing slowly but surely. To God be the Glory.
"The one pushed aside by the cold cold world..."
That part made me break.
I'm glad there is a place on RUclips where we share each other's hurt. It brings the world a little closer together when we all can relate to each other and pray!!
I totally agree i used to have a friend who was being abused very badly by her father and she comented about it on youtube and someone from her school saw it and talked to her about the next day and helped her tell someone about what was happening and now she living with her aunt in texas. If you ever need someone to talk to anonymously talk to us. Becaude we will try to help you. You can also always talk and pray to God about because he will send something or someone or even help you get out of the situation your in. Know that God has a plan for you you just have to follow and belive that God will help you and he will. God bless you all. If you have not heard the song mended by matthew west. You may see broken but God will always see mended. God bless you all and know that you are not a victim but a victor.

It wasn't my fault it happened, screw victim shaming. I cry every time I hear this song

Rosalea Schwenke they were talking about society

Praying for all of us broken girls. Thank you, for this prayer song!
Praying for the broken boys, too.
I'm not the girl he was singing about in this song. But I am a girl and I am broken and this song gives me courage.
i am no longer broken girl i am now a broken woman.

I pray you don't have to feel broken anymore. Jesus died so that you can be free to move beyond the shackles that your past have put you in. You can be free to do whatever you want, and you are more valuable then you can even imagine.
Ur not broken sending hugs
I'm sorry!! 😔
They is power in your words...Say I am healed and do the work, trust God and see the manifestations
It's ok. If you are still alive. Don't feel what the devil wants you too. Feel God. Don't feel you, feel God
To whoever is reading this, you are not worthless. 💖You may be broken now, but with Jesus, you'll never stay broken. You are loved, but most importantly, you are loved by God. I know how it feels to not have anyone to turn to, when you're going through a dark time. I'm here if anyone needs someone to talk to, or just to listen. 💙💙 Remember that you are worthy, and you have a purpose here. Trust God, he knows what he has in store for you. 😊
Leah Aiken wow that's a good message! I feel very broken and it's heartening to know I can be healed!
Leah Aiken if god was real, why are we bullied why does he cause us to be abused
You have to got thru hell to find peace
thank you 💙
Leah Aiken gid sent me the most wonderful guy into my life even tho he is a year older than me and I'm 13 and I can't thank him enough
I was that little girl at one time!! I had a son out of rape, by my dad!! I've learned how to forgive, and I know longer blame myself, I had to forgive my dad, that's the only way I could ever heal and move on in life!! I'm now 45 with a beautiful son!! who will be 30 years old, 6 days before my 46 birthday, God Gave me the strength to move forward in life, you will never forget your past or who harmed you, but you will heal & grow into the person You are now!! God gives his strongest soldiers battles he himself knows they will win!! God bless each & everyone of you! You are absolutely beautiful and loved, don't forget that!! love overpowers all things ❤
That's so powerful thank you so much. I can't understand that pain and tribulation but I'm glad you have overcome
Forgiveness is the key. I too had to forgive my dad. Although I forgave him years after he was killed, it helped
Melanie Easley I was abuse my father too at a young age. Then my Husband mentally and verbally abuse me. The two man I look up too and loved. I forgave them both and I was heal. I am living now for the Lord amen
The song absolutely unraveled me. I was absolutely one of those broken girls, which, unfortunately is all too common in the deep south it took years of therapy, and then finally it took Jesus to make the hurt go away and praise God I am broken no longer.!
"your light was bright and new and he didn't care" I felt that. So many memories can just float away while listening to this
I'm the broken little girl. My step father sexually and verbally abused me. Even bits of physical abuse happened to me. I'm still healing from what happened..(It happened two years ago. I was thirteen. He was forty eight.)
The strength is in you. You are a survivor. You dont even have to say words for God to take the war away when it gets too loud inside of you. Accept him into your heart and look up! All I have to think is PLEASE!! That's how I know there is a God. Truly know. I cant even calm my own storm or make it stop. He is there. You are never alone
I get how you feel.
Im sorry that you had to go through that. I understand exactly what you went through and how you are feeling now. I was 6 when my dad sexually abused me. It went on for 8 years. The days that I refused he would beat me with his belt. He always told he I was never going to do anything with my life. Im 48 now and I still struggle with this. Praying is what is getting me through this. I will keep you in my Prayers.
Be strong dear.. Jesus is there for you. You are not alone. Just cry out to the Lord. Jesus is broken so you become whole again. You are worthy and beautifully made. None can take that from you. Your life is precious. Don't let the past destroy your future. Jesus loves you so. And He already prove it on the Calvary. God bless you dear.
Remember that you’re beautiful. You don’t have to let what happened to you stop you from being who God meant for you to be.
my heart breaks for all of you who've been abused. Christ loves you and will restore you soon. Never forget that.
We can only help he will help us.
As a survivor of rape at age 11, as an abuse survivor, (all kinds mental, emotional, physical, verbal, and sexual) this song really hits close to home. When I’d go to church and they’d make me feel it was my fault when they’d talk about how if you’re not a virgin it’s a sin etc. I felt so worthless and suicidal until I met my current boyfriend he’s done so much for me and he’s changed me.
The same happened to me by many people and nobody would believe me until I told my dad years later I wish I had told somebody when it was happening for a year all most everyday strait. He told me it was my fault and I would get in trouble if I told anybody.
@@izzyreese5597 It's okay, it's not your fault and you will not get in trouble if you told it to anyone. When you first went through it, you probably couldn't process what is happening or what has happened and it's okay but it is not okay to not speak up. Stay strong dear, I know you can do it and heal the wound, I am with you
I had something similar happened to me. I’m 16 and from the time I was 6 until 12 I was sexually, emotionally, mentally, verbally, and physically abused by a friend of my dad’s that was living with us. My family didn’t know until he moved out with his girlfriend because I was too afraid to tell anyone. Both of my parents worked full time and were almost always at work at the time so they didn’t know about the physical, mental, emotional, or verbal abuse either. We didn’t have security cameras then. I was never hit in the face or anywhere that clothes wouldn’t cover a bruise which was honestly very inconvenient for me because I was not planning on telling anyone so no one knew except me and my dad’s ex friend. I did end up telling my family when I was 14 and my parents believed be because they know that I don’t lie.
@@Liz_marshmallow_and_mia that's awful but best of luck for your near future
I would find a better church. Jesus loves you and will never make you feel like that was ever your fault. He’ll never make you ashamed; He sets free. Find a church with the love of God in it. Trust me, the place you get the Word from have a big impact on how you see and feel about yourself.
No one, no one,is Worthless and I am sorry that anyone had to go through that,but JESUS paid it all for the broken girls,boys, everyone, You are prescious, beautiful beyond words, Imagine how much the people that do love you,& take that times infinity and beyond,that's how much God loves us, we have all been broken somehow,but don't have to stay broke,Thankyou Jesus.😇😇😇
Thanks Niki for including broken boys. I have felt worthless and weak as a gay man for so many years. I don't have anyone who really loves me but Jesus, and the fact that Jesus died for me makes me worthy and not broken today; scarred, flawed but not broken.
To all that has or broken, please don't give up!
I am a proof of someone that's been healed. It is a process, but with God anything is possible.
I am soo blessed that God chosen me as his child. I am loved and to know such peace. This world belongs to Satan and as true Christians we have to stay strong and not conformed to this world.
We Godly people know that he is coming soon.
God be with you and keep you strong!
Korger AMEN PREACH
I don't believe I will be fixed anymore cuz ive prayed so many time but none of them were answered so I stopped and I just keep getting huet and ppl make me become "the broken girl"
God always answers prayers. He is willing and able to be there. You just have to drop your walls.
@@skyelarw5950
Never give up!!! God is always by your side, even when you can't see him. Just because they sun doesn't when you tell it to, doesn't mean it won't when it's the right time. I know it's hard, but God never said it would be easy. But he is with us and is building us up into a new creation.
GerKor i needed to hear you
I was that broken girl when I was young, but Jesus did heal me completely. Run into His arms, He really does comfort. Pray for your abuser, I know that this sounds strange, but it will help you to heal. God loves you and I do too.
DMHOF.org
That is what I am doing now. I am just so angry
Tammy LaSala what exactly do I say when I pray about that bastard?
Erin Tyers kk, thx😇
Wtf im not praying for the girl who sexually,physically,mentaly,and emotionally abused and raped me ava if ur reading this fuck u and as for u bible thumpers THERE IS NO PROOF JESUS OR GOD IS REAL and stop pushing your bullshit beliefs on people
I was too young to remember the age when it first happened, the other times broke me even more
And for all the broken guys too .....
Age 8 I was sexually abused. And during that time I was too scared to tell anyone. 19 now, and I'm finally free from the fear of being forsaken again.
This song means so much more than sexual abuse! I was adopted out of a foster home at 9 years old after my biological mother had an ungoldy relationship with another man who made it clear he didn't love me or want me at all..I overcame it after a while but this song just feels like its about me. About how much I can become that strong girl I am trying to be.
We survive.
Everyone is precious. If your damaged take time to heal You means something to someone in this world. Don’t let someone take you away form this world. You are amazing. God loves you. I love you. You are loved. Don’t throw away life You only have one. Stop cutting. Stop listening to people’s hurtful comments they must be hurt too and hurting someone else makes them feel better. You are one of a kind. Love yourself for who you are. You are you. 💗🌹
Thank you...❤
This one goes out to my sister, please pray for her to get out of her abusive situation and find the Lord 🙏
I never been abused or anything but 💔 omg I Read some peoples comments and my heart broke💔💔💖💖💖
Same I wish they didn't have these lives!!
I love what you said about " if those of us that were abused weren't we wouldn't be the people we are now"
Same
Bless you. It's nice to read that someone out there cares. I wish more people could know that no matter how belitted and bullied they've been treated, that there is always someone else out there that cares. I wish more people cared and showed it.
I love you all!!!! Wat the world SEES as worthless God sees as humbled , loved n priceless!!!!!
This song hits home so hard every time I hear I break down because I was the victim of physical,emotional,verbal abuse..and from that abuse I have PTSD and Trust Issues with people...but I'm getting stronger everyday I keep my FAITH..
Keep going girl, you got this.🙂👍🏼
+brittany parrish i have the same thing its hard with PTSD everyday but i keep trying and i sometimes i hide in my room for days some times but i get though the day
+Pretty Purple Panda thank you
+cHeRrY BlOsSoM GaMeR it know it might be hard but just keep your head up high and if you ever need to talk im here to listen
hiHi
I was able to forgive my molester with the love of Christ. All praise to Yahweh. Thank you ABBA
I was that broken girl. I always thought to love is to hurt. But Jesus taught me what love is. The real love is thank you Jesus. Tha you for sharing. God bless you❤
This song...I don't know how to react to this. At a young age my birth dad made it quite obvious that he didn't want or love me. Listening to the lyrics, it made me feel like the song was directed to me. It's been 4 years since I moved into foster care-I'm 16 now. This song helps things so much ❤️️
Tala, I wish I could adopt you. I've been there too. Hang on, God will take care of you. I'm here if you need an ear. I will be praying for you.
Tala Summers
I am a child of adoption
+Alyssa Marie me to its a hard life I can't focus on anything and I don't know how to love because I never was taught to be a good partner for someone
yikes! I am sorry!😥😥😢
OH JESUS ,THANKYOU FATHER.
FOR THOSE WORDS THAT YOU KNOW I NEEDED TO HEAR THIS MINUTE.HOW WONDERFUL IS YOUR MIRACULOUS HEALING POWER COMING THROUGH AT YOUR RIGHT TIMING.Thankyou Father GOD .👍🐴🌵
Thank you Mathew West! You are helping my healing process so much with this song!
This song really hits home for me. Growing up my dad was very verbally and emotionally abusive to me. He caused me to have suicidal thoughts, I used to cut myself. I literally hated myself. He put me down so bad, he made me believe every single word. Since I've been saved I have chosen to forgive him. Its been hard. I still suffer from anxiety and depression with God's love I can conquer anything in this life. I used to be the broken girl. Now the Lord has made me whole again ❤❤❤
Hallelujah!!! YOU ARE AMAZING!!!! I have experienced exactly what you went through except it was my mother. I haven't found the time or energy to forgive her yet but you are so, so strong to have forgiven him. That makes you a better person and the Lord is amazing, he works in very mysterious ways. God Bless Your Soul and I pray you are doing better now!!
this song just reminds me of everything from my past.. makes me feel trapped by it, like I'll never be free from my own head..
You can be freed!
Tiff Bussey
God can set you free. Just open your heart to him. He did for me.
I know the feeling and its hard. Several times almost committed suicide because of it. But there is hope, I know. And PTSD doesn't define who we are nor does what's happened to us
Heather Ariza-Parker
No it doesn't. You just have to be strong. Give it all to God tell him you can't do it alone. Ask him go take all this pain and carry you.
Do not let Satan win, if you commit suicide you will let him win. Please be strong. He healed me and gave me strength and now I am strong. 💛💗
you are beautiful and you will survive. i dont know if youve ever seen the movie Split. but it was an eye opener for me at the end. "the broken are the more evolved. rejoice" we wouldnt be who we are today if we didnt suffer. we are stronger for it. better for it. we see the world for what it truly is. and find beauty where others may not. it is a terrible horrible gift this suffering. just remember....you are powerful. you are mighty. and you can overcome anything. my heart is with you. i dont know you but...i love you. and i wish you peace and all the love you so deserve my friend
I was raped at 15... I'm now 19... I still struggle and feel broken every day.
WE SHALL KEEP ON FIGHTING AND MOVING ON WITH OUR LIVES CAUSE WE ARE LOVED BY EVERYONE AND GOD IS WATCHING OVER US
I'm crying because this is my song to my life. A life without love. I just cry everyday
I wrote these lyrics on a paper, as well as many more. I left a unknown message for my best friend, who is depressed and seeing her cry those happy tears made me cry myself.
Matthew West is right when he says "You're not the worthless they made you feel. There is a love they can never steal away. And you don't have to stay the broken girl." It takes time and a lot of healing, and years after the initial pain leaves a shadow is left. But it is well worth the effort, and these three sentences will become reality and not just a dream.
I was sexually, physically and mentally abused by my father til I was 21. I'm 26 right now and it hours when you look back. People who haven't experienced it themselves can't say "Omg! I relate so much!"
It actually hurts people who have EXPERIENCED it.
For 14 years I was verbally and emotionality abused by my biological father. He minlupted me into thinking the problems were my fault. I use to push my dresser against my door, because my door didn't have a lock, out of fear for my own safety. On the worst nights, I would go as far as peeing in a cup so I didn't have to leave my room. I still find it hard to trust people, and tend to lash out at people out of fear. For so long I told myself that it wasn't "real abuse",and that I was just being dramatic and overly sensitive, and I convinced myself that if I was a better daughter things would be better.
Now that I'm older, and have loving step dad, I understand what a dad should be, and what a dad shouldn't be. A father should love, protect, provide, and care for their children, my biological father was never like that. He is cruel, selfish, greedy, and incapable of love.
I'm sorry that you were treated so unfairly. You deserve more than that, and I'm glad you could find that through your stepdad. You're valuable and I'm glad you could learn that.
Maddie it shows how strong you are, that you understand that it was never your fault. Its good to know that you have stepfather that has shown you there are good men out there too. I had a similar childhood. Except my stepfather was abusive verbally and emotionally. I remember pushing my dresser in front of door too. His anger in his voice. Pounding on the other side of that door and yelling about how much worse it would be if I didn't move the dresser....the fear that runs through your mind as a child...huh I never share personal things like this. Well it was just one of many frightening things that happened. There are so many others that went through so much worse. :'(
Have you ever stopped and thought what YOU did to make him react like that? Do you think he just woke up one day wanting to dislike his daughter ? Chances are you probably acted like a brat and ungrateful to what he does for you, like many teen girls do, even adult men can only take so much. I'm glad you do not act as spoilt in front of your step father though
TSOC believe me, I believed that for meny years. It was a damaging way of thinking for me, no matter how hard I tried nothing changed. No child should be affraid if their father. No one should have nightmares about their past. He physically abused my older sister for years. You can't tell me a loving father would do that to their kids.
Maddie
I'm glad to be able to change your thinking. I think far too many kids have the mindset that their abuse was their own fault. Any rational person could tell you that there is never an excuse to abuse someone, but abusers aren't rational and victims usually have their rationality damaged. You show real strength for being able to realize that you had a damaging way to think, and changing it, and realizing that it wasn't your fault. I'm glad you're safe not with a loving father that shows you how a father should be.
I have read so many of the comments on this page! This song is about healing from abuse!! God loves us and wants all the broken pieces of our lives so He can put htem back together again! The first several times I heard this sog I cried now I know it is abou tso much more then the abuse! I am an abuse survivor!! I was sexually abused by two older cousins for years. I was physically and emotional abused by my own dad for decades, and I have even been emotionally abused by so called friends! The one real truth in all of this is GOd loves you NO MATTER WHAT! God wants to mend your hearts, minds and emotions from it all, he can if we just let him! I know because I am healed! For all that read this and think no one cares your wrong I care and I will listen!! My dream is for someday no body has to suffer abuse every again!
so sorry for your pain and yes one day all children will be free from all abuse

TO ALL THE WOMEN WHO HAVE POSTED AND WILL POST. I would like to start a support group for anyone who wants help healing from their wounds. It doesn't have to be sexually related, it can be anything that has created wounds. Bullying, neglect, physical, emotional, or sexual. I am reaching out to try to help anyone who wants to respond. Facebook, LEAH MALONE. I will post a comment "MATTHEW WEST".I hope to hear from you on Facebook. We can do this together!!
Lisa Malone I would be interested in talking. laci_dalton@yahoo.com
Not necessarily for those sexual abused. I've been physically and emotionally/verbally abused
it's only for CSA survivor's .
+gaditesisinthetruth that is a horrid thing to say, it may have been written for CSA survivors but if somebody has been abused in another way then who the hell are you to deny them?
+Peg Pish CSA = child sexual abuse.
to those arguing the song: it's written about CSA survivors, like myself. But it can help survivors of multiple forms of abuse.
Della Finning me too.
I'm connecting just well with it, and I was physically abused,and am currently mentally abused. I believe it's up to the listener to find their meaning, even if the song writer had a different idea
God bless and watch over you in the name of JESUS! :)
Thank you for making this video. My past has made me feel broken, but I know now that there IS a love they can never steal away, and that is the love from God.
Have to cry every time I listen to that song. Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God can put you back together again. Amen
amen
amen
Amen
Amen
Amen🙏✨
Who pit all the thumps down thiss is a great song of healing in my life
Only God can heal the broken !! Give it to him and let him fix you. I love you but He loves you so much more. Stay strong.
It’s been 3 years and god hasn’t helped me one goddamn bit.
@@itsdigiorno9450 God helps us in different ways than what we exspect. He is helping you but maybe you don't understand how yet. You have to believe and have faith. God never fails
@@vickieminhas6592 Dude, I don't care. I dont believe in God the same way you do. I don't believe that he helps us. He just watches us grow. But thats about it.
@@vickieminhas6592 Besides, what was God thinking when he sent out 3 men to sexually assault me? If you say that was part of his "great plan" then I swear, I will personally crucify someone.
@@itsdigiorno9450 he didn't send anyone to assault you that happens to you coz people in this world are sick and evil bit that's not God's fault. I was also asulted at 6 and my mum did nothing. But I don't blame God. It was not God's plan no. Of course not! God's plan is for everyone to live in peace forever. Those people that hurt u will answer to God one day. I know u don't believe he helps us but he does, just not in ways we think. Sometimes I am inpatient and think he doesn't care but he does. It more than watching us grow he does love us. He wants whats best for us. But we are living amount the most inhumane people who do disgusting horrifying terrible things and that is not what God intended at all and one day he will stop all.
God can heal your brokenness - His love covers the pain and he heals all the scars - once broken now healed in Him
This song is such a wonderful messages to all the "Broken Girls" It just made me cry....
I love it when he says "You don't have to stay the broken girl" And "Your not the worthless they made you feel" Those two parts touched me the most.. Because it's right.. We don't have to stay the broken girl.. We can be SO much more.. And we are, in Gods eyes.. And We are not worthless we are amazing!! And if your around people who don't make you feel that way, then that don't deserve to know you.. When people talk behind your back.. Just remember, they're behind you for a reason...
I was sexual abused in one of my relationships and now that I'm pregnant and have a good guy i am strong no matter what you should be too ❤
Coming from this survivor who has found healing, sisters please don't give up. You are so strong, and you WILL get through this. Something was stolen from us, yes, but we survived. Keep moving forward, one step at a time, just focus on that one step and it will get better in time. Seek help and healing, there is 0 shame in talking to someone who can help. I was used at 4 and 14, in every way possible, and it took me 20 years to be able to publicly acknowledge my past. To break the hold it had on me. I sought help and my counselor saved my life. I found others who understood the wounds and pain we're left with, and it was comforting to know I wasn't the only one struggling. There are more of us than we realize. Keep holding on, keep fighting, you're not alone.❤
If someone is telling you that you're worthless, unimportant, weak or stupid than don't listen because it shows that they are heartless and need you to show them the truth. If you're hurting and broken up inside then tell an adult like a teacher, friend or neighbor because you are never as alone as you feel. If someone is trying to reach out to you, then instead of pushing them away, take their hand. No one can make you feel bad about yourself unless you let them.
..I never realized I've been hurt until recently.. But I don't think I'm broken. Not yet. No matter how many cracks or how many holes, it seems I just don't know when to give up. So as long as I never give up, I'll never be broken. I can take every hit, even though it still hurts... Does that make sense?
...Fuerte...
Yes, it does make sense. Keep fighting just like you have been and pray to God for help you, and whatever is trying to break you will cease. Never give up
Mademoiselle Music Lover Fuerte?
Sirenix Prime To be honest, I really don't notice much.. Besides, my mother always said I had a good relationship with God. She said it was very seeable.
That's good. Never let that change.
This song. Crying uncontrollably right now. I have never heard words hit closer to home in my heart til right now. I'm shaking.
In this case broken girl and boy. The lord has his hands on you both. Thank you Lord!
I just want to say that everyone this has happened to. Both girls and guys. You ARE STRONG!! They may have hurt you in the past, but you CAN trust again! I've been scared myself and it took me many years to understand what happened to me. People told me, "He never had intercourse so it's not rape." But it is! Anything against your will, forcing you or hurting you is rape. Speak up! Don't let them shut you down! And bare your fangs! You CAN fight back!
Thank u for the kind words u are loved I was sexually and physically abused but I survived both at times I feel broken but hearing this song and all the kind comments makes me feel not so alone God bless u
Hello, this is Donald. I don't know how people could possibly be so cruel and insensitive. What happened to you was very clearly wrong. I am so sorry it everhappened to you. But, it sounds like you're doing your best to make a good adjustment if those are even the right words. I've been blind since birth and am typing this with my talking computer. I'm finding it very hard to type this properly because I feel so bad not only for what happened to you but also for what someone had the utter nerve to say back to you. I want to say God bless you and God love you. Now, I'm going to check this for any typing mistakes because I care that much for you.
I did but no one believed me, that's why so many stay silent because of fear of not being believed and then getting worse punishment. It's having courage to find another way out!
@@donmayer58 that is such a beautiful comment . There are still some good people around. You are one of them
Vickie, this is Donald Mayer. I really thank you for your reply. I wanted you to know that. I really hope you have a good day tomorrow.
I relate to this song. I have been abused in so many different ways it's scary.
me too! but God says were BEAUTIFUL!
me too: (
same...keep strong
same here I've been abused in every way possible and it's still happening I can relate to this song so much I'm a broken girl and I've tried to end my life so many times I don't want to feel this pain anymore I feel so worthless and alone I have no-one I've cried so much I don't know how I still have tears left to cry all I want to do is lay down and die
Hey heatherlynn bless if you are still being abused you need to get jelp and tell someone my grandmother told me tell my mother anout what my dad was doing to me and i did and i got out of that situation. Please tell someone and this goes to every one out there if your being abused of bullied or hurt in any way you need to tell someone and get out of thet situation please.know you are never alone you have God to talk to and he will always send you away to get out of the situation you are in
And if you dont have anyone to talk to talk to me
I was so strong in my faith I felt worthy and loved by jesus then it got took off me so fast and then my daughter brought my family back in my life and then all came flooding back like a lighting and the cold cold world and ministry that made me feel worthless. Put her back together again to sevin thanks and Stuart and my kids name calling attacks and to my parents all of them excluding Kathleen as I know u loved me and that's enough that I know that now as an adult thanks for your letter mum I miss u I don't blame u. Wow all I can say is this was amazing song cold cold world I have seen recently for sure especially with one who destroyed me more than most as everyone can see I was so strong in the faith and all lost. God bless u all. I will follow my dreams regardless. Thanks for showing me when I come away from people I can achieve anything. Thank u.
I survived but I am not a survivor. My heart still beats even though I’m dead inside
I know I live just like that everyday I hate myself
To all the broken girls you don't have to stay broken
I found a way to become whole. God. He loves you and so do I. Don't let those who broke you win..
I'm sorry Blake, I don't know what to say except that those who broke you aren't what you should define yourself by. I was beaten, raped abused and told I was a worthless tramp at the age of nine until I was 18. I found out thru self examination that it was the ones who did it to me that were the ones who were worthless not me.. I found I was worthy of loving my self and others loving me. You just have to know that it's the ones who broke you that are worthless broken pieces of dirt.. Not you..
Blake please read the book of Mark or John I will pray that you see Jesus in it and His saving grace...
Ultimate song. yes, brings back the pain from sexual abuse I hid for 28 years, N the rapes I hid.....but the sick reality helps me recognize that just bc I could not go to MY parents or ANYONE, I raised my 4 children in an open communication environment. when traumas hit MY DAUGHTERS, they had ME. I faught for them..
.and will never stop.
+Genale Rambler - You and me both. I never understood that mom "didn't know". Everyone now claims that it was "that time". I look at my sons (who are grown now) and I can NEVER think of a time that I haven't or wouldn't have stood up for them regardless!!!!!!!!!!!
I can totally relate to this song. I was abuse in so many ways. Starting at a baby my mother never cared about me. I was very under weight and had rags on when my fathers parents got me. The abuse never stopped there. I'd been abused in every way possible even as an adult. I ened up in a DV shelter in 18 n then in a homeless shelter in 19 n then out on the streets n then another homeless shelter in 20 untill God provided me with my first apartment
God bless your soul, you experienced more than anyone should at those ages. I hope you are doing better now!!!
Great song, l was this broken girl, but saved by the grace of God.
To anyone that's gone through this... I love you all ❤ We're going to be okay.
This song describes a lot of women there is hope!
I stumble across this song long ago.... I never thought one day I related to it so much... I’m so glad this song exist. I’m not broken ...what he did to me was not my fault.
I am still this broken girl, but i am finally healing from all the abuse I went through.
This song helps me realise it was never my fault, I cry every time I hear this song;((.
I was never sexually abused, but I was verbally abused and in my pain i lashed out and hurt others, i was lost and scared and broken inside, trapped inside a cycle of pain and hate, everything changed when I found god, he helped me to escape that cycle and made me a better person

Jesus Christ loves us. Thank you Lord.❤️
I'm that broken girl thank you Matthew for this song God bless you
This song has healed me
From the ages of 10 to 21, I was emotionally and mentally abused by my now ex-stepfather. It hurt that my mother, the one who is suppose to make me feel safe, stood by and watched. Then refused to help when I begged. Yet, when he did the same to her, I helped her.
It's been a long road of healing and mending a relationship with my mom, but we're making it work.
Hope you two will have a better life :)
My parents told me that God named me and after listening to this song I now know why he picked the name Hannah. The definition of the name Hannah means grace. This is him telling me that I'm the grace that will piece me back together because he made me a strong worrior and a child of God.
A song that crushes all rocks ...! Thank you so much ....love this song ..Praise the Lord!
I am finally a strong daughter of my Father in Heaven and I finally know his perfect love for me..
I relate to this song for a different reason than most of you do. I relate to this on a mental abuse level, but it is I that is doing the abusing. I used to have so much self-hate in my heart. I used to slice up my skin, and when i found this song, I found peace. I no longer felt like the girl who had been pushed aside by the cold world. The Lord has put the puzzle of broken pieces that is me back together. He made me feel as if I was actually wanted in this world, and this song has, on many occasions, saved my life. Thank you, Matthew West.
listen to my beloved kari jobe
I grew up with an emotionally and verbally abusive father.. I've had body image and self esteem issues since I was little. when I was 18, I got into an mentally abusive relationship and when I left, i was completely torn down. I gained so much weight from overeating, had anxiety attacks every day & tried committing suicide multiple times. I really was convinced that I am not good enough for anything and that I have no purpose.. years later, I have found a man who loves and treats me like a queen. we have been together for 3 years and I never once imagined my life would drastically improve, that I'd find peace within myself and forgive those who have broken me. You don't have to stay broken, you can put those pieces back together and be a beautiful work of art 💗 PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP!!!! Stay strong and remember that you are amazing, you are good enough and you will be successful in whatever you do. I love you all 💗
Wow words can not express how closely this song has hit my heart, as a child sexually abused by her own father, I spent years broken and battered by the sheer memory of what happened to me, I was left with PTSD, severe anxiety and depression, but I’m learning to be a survivor not only for myself but for my children, I’m learning to not be the broken girl anymore!
