I haven’t watched the movie yet, but when I heard Kelly Clarkson’s song, “Broken and Beautiful” from Ugly Dolls, I thought it was so touching and moving that I wanted to post it here.
“I never held my hand out and asked for something free
I got pride I could roll out for miles in front of me
I don’t need your help, and I don’t need sympathy
I don’t need you to lower the bar for me
I know I’m Superwoman, I know I’m strong
I know I’ve got this ’cause I’ve had it all along
I’m phenomenal and I’m enough
I don’t need you to tell me who to be…”
Sometimes illness makes us feel broken. Sometimes it makes others feel pity. I think this song has an empowering message especially since it’s #mentalhealthmonth.
Songs can make us feel strong and courageous. Do you have a song that empowers you?
