[00:16.54]I was three feet from the floor'
[00:18.49]gasping for air'
[00:20.00]trying to release my father’s hands from my throat.
[00:24.34]looked I into his eyes
[00:25.01]and wondered if my feet would ever touch the floor again.
[00:30.39]
[00:32.97]Have you ever been hit so hard
[00:34.54]that it sends your body flying across the room?

[00:45.82]
[00:46.57]that’s the real challenge' isn’t it?
[00:50.47]
[00:53.75]I’ve always lived in own my world'
[00:55.51]

[01:14.65]
[01:16.47]you can’t rely on to other make people you happy'
[01:18.48]
[01:20.93]but I know deep down inside' he loved me.
[01:24.54]
[01:29.08]There was a time'
[01:29.97]
[01:30.85]I suffered so much'
[01:32.10]I wanted to get it out of me.

[01:50.40]with the pain that was eating me inside'
[01:53.98]
[01:54.99]nothing was erased.
[01:56.06]
[02:00.02]I live with past my tucked away'
[02:02.22]
[02:02.97]deep inside of me.
[02:04.11]
[02:09.26]It comes out as an explosion'
[02:10.80]and it invades me.
[02:14.39]
[02:20.74]I believe we are messengers on earth'
[02:24.20]I believe in angels.
[02:26.53]I am blessed by God to tell myself
[02:28.65]I suffered that much to become who I am today.
[02:31.55]
