I Am Not A Stranger ..

CUT

I'm not a stranger
No I am yours

With crippled anger
And tears that still drip sore

A fragile flame aged
with misery

And when our eyes meet
I know you see

I do not want to be afraid
I do not want to die inside just to breathe in

I'm tired of feeling so numb
Relief exists I find it when
I am cut

I may seem crazy
Or painfully shy
And these scars wouldn't be so hidden
If you would just look me in the eye

I feel alone here and cold here
Though I don't want to die
But the only anesthetic that makes me feel anything kills inside

I do not want to be afraid
I do not want to die inside just to breathe in
I'm tired of feeling so numb

Relief exists I find it when
I am cut
Pain
I am not alone
I am not alone

I'm not a stranger
No I am yours

With crippled anger
And tears that still drip sore

But I do not want to be afraid
I do not want to die inside just to breathe in

I'm tired of feeling so numb
Relief exists I found it when
I was cut ….

  1. explaination”I am using the word … NUMB for helplessness… the word CUT.. is used for left out…My On’an is very sick.. I am helpless and also left out I can’t help or know what is going on .. in this song these words are showing you my feelings NUMB AND CUT.. I pray this is all I can and will continue to do.. Love has it’s strengthsas does prayers. LoveFatimah

  2. HI Sarah,thank you for seeing it differntly than the song states I am interpreting it differntly than the song suggests.thanks for your commentLoveFatimah

  3. This is beautiful and I think that people can look at it as art and interpret it in their own way. I don’t think it is leading to ‘cutting’ in the way we understand it. :heart:Sarah

  7. Honestly, I have not listened many english songs. Agree with Sarah, I too have different perspective, and that is the beauty of the song. I have listned the song many times over, each expression has much to say.”I do not want to be afraid I do not want to die inside just to breathe in” – I dont want to live my life with timidness, I want to face the danger, I want to explore the fullest of life, purpose of life, I just dont want to live for the sake of it, to just breathe and live.” I’m tired of feeling so numb Relief exists I find it when I am cut”- I want to ‘live’ the life, I am not a breathing robot, I want to be curious about the life, and I realise my strength when I in the middle of hurricane. Just my views…In my view love and prayer is not different thing they are simply complementry and supplementry to each other. Prayer is a form in which love is the substance. When you pray love flows, when you love you prayer follows. Thanks for the beautiful expereince.

  8. Hi Farimah,Breathtaking song and photos. Thanks for sharing your sad feelings, I know how hard it is. Sarah, how wonderfully you “commented” this post. Thank you. Love, Ramute.

  10. HI Zendabug,thank YOU for enjoying and coming out of the shadows :)It’s nice to see you in the light.Fatimah

  11. HI RamuteThank you too for always feeling my heart and also my soul.I was amazed how my inspiration of my helplessness lead me to these photos and moved me to create this beautiful post.Love Fatimah

  13. Hi JV,thank you for your beautiful feelings and expressing them so well here in my blog. I am honored to read your heart as you are to read mine.I do agree with you this song does have many faucets and one can view this song in differnt ways.After hearing this song around 20 times I realized it was about the CUTTING experience that some people with emotional upsettness do to them selves and this is not what I wanted to express here.I sometimes use words in a differnt way to make you think in a broader scale not “what you see is what you get ” My regular readers know my style and how I use words and graphics to express my inner feelings which are deep inside my soul.Thank you JV for always sharing with me and as I stated.. “I am honored “I also love how you see love and prayer being hand in hand.. thank you for this also.Fatimah
