Beautiful Pain -Eminem ft. Sia
This is a great illustration of overcoming PTSD or abusers.

Still Alive - Paul Williams

"...something clearly terrified you,
Did you choose to disappear?
Guess again, guess again.
You made friends
and some still ask about you now and then....
Earned a black belt in disaster
Wound up acting like a jerk
It's a fact of life
Your final act is gonna need some work
Hey where ya been?
Where've ya been?
Learning lessons on the road from hell and back again.
And someone asked me once
Where do we go when we arrive?
If you're lucky
When it's over
The dreamer's still alive
A blessed mystery for sweeter souls did not survive
But if your lucky when it's over
The dreamer's still alive...."

I was never a Paul Williams fan necessarily though his songs were on the radio when I was in high school driving around in cars, but I saw a documentary about him, which was fantastic. This is part of a song he wrote for it.

@untiltoday , Bad Guy is a brilliant song. I love the female vocals. I'd stopped listening to him after the album Encore, but I'm giving the Marshall Mathers LP 2 a chance (listening to it now). Thanks for reminding me about him. I also love Sia, so I'm super happy.

@franciemarnie , I thought I didn't know who he was, but he wrote Rainbow Connection :inlove::laugh:. Nice lyrics, particularly Earned a blackbelt in disaster, love that.

Heaven is still on the way
Baby be a little less afraid
Your shaking keeping me awake

Heaven is still on the way
Baby be a little less afraid
I pray you found your rays
Because heaven is a ways away
