Vulnerability Can Be Empowering As A Songwriter And Storyteller.

If You Can't Create Physical Life, You Find A Life Force. If That's In Music, That's In Music. I Started To Find This Deep, Primitive Rhythm, And I Started To Move To It. And I Held Hands With Sorrow, And I Danced With Her, And We Giggled A Bit.

I Really Do Feel As Though I Was Psychologically Mutilated That Night And Now I'm Trying To Put The Pieces Back Together Again. Through Love, Not Hatred. And Through My Music. My Strength Has Been To Open Again, To Life, And My Victory Is The Fact That, Despite It All, I Kept Alive My Vulnerability.
