I think the beauty of this song is that, although it was written for those who faced sexual assault and abuse, it could really be about anything that anyone goes through, that no one feels the pain of until they themselves experience it. I listened to this song frequently during the COVID pandemic, and to me, this song I think represents the grief that happened to the millions of people who lost loved ones to it, and weren’t able to say goodbye, and those who have had long COVID. And I read many articles that said that people who lost loved ones to COVID are still struggling with grief and trauma, even 4 years later. The pain never goes away. The people who have never lost a loved one to COVID or managed to get long COVID don’t understand how painful it is to live with these losses and chronic health conditions…til it happens to them.

I was in a black formal shirt (Which covered my torso aside from my neck and arms), boot-cut jeans, and work boots. In my CHURCH, at a youth dance. I was 12, and he was 16 about to be 17. He was bigger in terms of muscle, and I was underweight. Don't matter who you are, what you look like, how old you are, where you are, or what you're wearing. It doesn't matter. It is not your fault, you didn't ask for it. You didn't say yes, even if you couldn't 'say' no. You didn't want it, and you shouldn't feel guilty. Love yourself, take care of yourself, treat yourself good. Speak for yourself, even if it is hard. <3 You are beautiful, your body is your temple, only yours. Heavenly Father created us all in his vision, and that includes you. Please, please, love yourself. Best wishes. xx
How can i forgive my abuser? How? I thought it comes automatically with forgiving to yourself but of course theyre separate and i just hit another f*cking wall, cptsd is just exhausting you climb one step just to see 10 more i cant deal with this i just cant
I got raped about a year and a half ago you shouldn't have to forgive them and punching walls won't help I broke my knuckles doing that try finding more songs like this or get into something like boxing to distract yourself it kinda works
I am a S.A. Survivor. I am a Narcissistic Abuse survivor!.... we are some of the strongest people in the world 🌎 💪 ❤️ This song is a masterpiece ✨️ 👌 🙌 I am proud of lady Gaga for this amazing song 🎵 It must have been seriously healing to write ✍️. I am grateful 🙏 I am a songwriter also. Music has saved my life!
My name is Jesus I'm feeling emotional and I'm hurting inside my heart 😢😢 I agree until it happens to you you will understand the pain 😢😢 I love you @ladygaga you are my queen
i cry when i sing this song it has a powerful messsage don't let other people hurt if you have to speak don't be afraid use your voice talk to someone if you have depressoin
All of Satan's whores got rich from the "rape culture" they once railed against. I got terrorized almost to suicide because I chose to protect little girls from rapists and pedophiles. What I'm basically saying is, fuck this music video, all souls be damned.
I'm from a perspective of pregnancy loss and ongoing infertility treatments. At times I've felt like a freak (from my fertility diagnosis'), a pincushion, an experiment. That everyone around me is getting pregnant but me. But this song helps me exercise those feelings when they hit rather than bottle them up. I have a good support system and I know Im not alone in this struggle. To all those fighting the same fight, never lose hope. 🌈
I always come back to this song when i have flashbacks from when i was SA'd,i was 3 when it started and ended when i was 7 by my father. To any other SA survivors out there, please just know you are NOT alone, it was not your fault. I know the trauma,the endless flashbacks & nightmares hurts,and im so proud of you for still going in life. Whoever needs to see this,you are loved and im so so proud of you. You got this💕
I was 12 when I was SA’d by my ex best friend • I was 15 when my ex raped me almost every time I saw them, they abused me mentally physically and sexually, they cheated on me manipulated me into thinking this was all normal I stayed for nearly 2 years it ended jan this year I am so glad they left me for someone else I won’t go into the details too much but it was horrible to go through I am still healing I’ll never be the same but I will get through this. I’ll be able to fully tell my story one day I hope. • To my fellow survivors you are seen! You are heard! You are loved! You are needed! IT WAS NOT YOUR FAULT.❤️❤️
This applies to EDs, too. It ruined me because of one passive-aggressive, angled comment a family member of all people made. It completely stole my youth and beauty. I'm 28 but I don't look like I'm in my 20s because of sunken features, the toll it's taken on my skin and how I've wasted away. I'm so upset that it happened to me, and I'm on my way to recovery and still battling the scary thoughts that lie to me and get in the way but I'm trying hard. 9 more pounds to go and it still seems like a lot. It really is a horrific thing to watch yourself go from a vivacious, happy, beautiful girl to not in less than a decade because some hateful person made nourishment and your own mind your enemy. Be careful what you say to people because you never know what might be the little comment that pushes someone over the edge. You don't know how sick you are until it's almost too late.
My brother was gonna rape me yesterday This first time he did it was when i was 8 I thought he changed But he didnt, im 15 now, hope he leaves me alone
My daughter lost her child 3 weeks after being born way to early .I lost my only grandson that day .She posted this song today .It resignated so much and I wish I could take all her pain ..I dont think anyone can know until it happens .
It took me 15 years to finally get the therapy I needed to help me get over my rape. I had convinced myself it was my fault for being drunk and that it wasn't as bad as it actually was. It happened when I was 16, and at 32 (last year) I was triggered somehow and had a full on breakdown. With two amazing therapists, I've had to reevaluate the last 16 years of my life and figure out who the hell I was. My whole identity was formed out of this one incident. I lost my whole identity and sense of who I was. It's been over a year and I'm finally getting somewhere. Please, please, please don't let this one horrible, traumatic thing define who you are. Do not keep quiet. Do not let anyone tell you it is less than what you think it is. Do what is right for you. It will be hard, but trust me, not dealing with it is harder in the long term.
It happened two nights ago… I will be performing this at the drag show I’m hosting at the end of this month. I feel so violated. I feel so disgusting. I feel so dirty. I feel unsafe bc of what he did.
My boyfriend broke up with me suddenly, and gave no explanation. My friends and family say they know how it feels, but when the person who completed your heart is the one who breaks it, its an incredibly painful feeling of betrayal...
I cried when I heard this song. So many emotions 😪 no one know what it is like to go through that experience no one. I have be judge and called liar. Thank you lady gaga thank you

It’s been ten years. The fact that it happen will never go away. No matter how much healing I do. Proud of where I am today but still
Here in march 2024

As a victim of domestic violence and marital rape, this song hits the soul😢😢. Don't quiet your voice, speak, nobody deserves the terror of abuse

Pure diamond in every style Talent which is impossible to bye or stop ❤
Nigga you don't know how it feel to write a song. You stole it. Where's the money?
My name is Jesus I'm feeling emotional and I'm hurting inside my heart 😢😢 I agree until it happens to you you will understand the pain 😢😢 I love you @ladygaga you are my queen
You only understand this song if you have been here watching a preadetor get a suspended sentence and keep his family when did world go mad 😢😢
💔
Even worse when people invalidate or downplay your trauma. You are either lying or blowing things out of proportion.
i cry when i sing this song it has a powerful messsage don't let other people hurt if you have to speak don't be afraid use your voice talk to someone if you have depressoin
Got a letter today saying I was accepted to get compo for the rape and abuse i endured with my ex for 6 years off and on. Big win!
I’ve always thought the intro violins remind me of the first few chords of Dope.
I suffer so bad and ppl just dont believe me very powerful song I love it
This song hits hard, I'm a survivor
Long haul covid brought me here
Praying for those that have experienced any type of abuse. 🙏🙂💜

Rest in peace my son
Every time I’m blocked on Grindr for being black I came here to listen to this song and then I hold my head up and I put Free Woman to play on.
I UNDERSTAND ❣️
