Comment:	I love the song "Scream." lately, i've been battling the temptation to hurt myself again after so long managing not to. i had never heard of ur band till i was listening to Cross rhythms the other night and i heard the song "scream." the lyrics spoke of someone needing others to realise just how much the emotional pain in her life was destroying her on the inside. i had been angry with God for the last 2 months becos i was still in torment, even after forgiving someone in my early life who had hurt me badly. i felt like my forgiveness towards this person must be fake, because i was still feeling so angry about what they'd done. A couple of weeks ago, a well-meaning church elder questioned that i really wanted to get well, which broke my heart all over again. i felt like i was bleeding inside already, and thought, "i don't want to go back to my razor blades again, but if i don't then i'll do something much worse, maybe even fatal." i wanted to live, but my feelings of anger and hate towards my abuser, and those who turned me away when i felt so desparate were so strong, that i was scared of myself. when i heard your song on the radio, i realised that God knew what was happening inside my head, even if others were freaked-out by it, and i didn't need to express my feelings to Him by damaging the body he has given me. Am still working through my issues, but i am glad that you wrote a song like "Scream" for girls like me. i pray for your band's ministry- if any person is struggling like this then i hope that hearing your song will help them realise that God knows what they're going through, and its acceptable to feel depressed, cos he's big enough to understand. Thanks, girls, God bless you all. C
