Ok so I know that this isn't necessarily Disney related, but I want to share anyway! Last Sunday (3/30) I went and saw the final night of the Neon Lights Tour with Demi Lovato, Cher Lloyd, Fifth Harmony and Collin's Key. The show was fantastic, one of the best concerts I've ever been to. But that's not why I wanted to share this, Demi has a song called Warrior that she wrote about her struggles with self-harm, an eating disorder, drug/alcohol addiction, bipolar disease and severe depression. I got a video of it along with the speech she said just before it. I want you all to watch and just hear the words. I'll post the lyrics below the video. Thanks! Also don't mind the sniffing in the background, I was a crying wreck.
This is a story that I have never told
I gotta get this off my chest to let it go
I need to take back the light inside you stole
You're a criminal
And you steal like you're a pro
All the pain and the truth
I wear like a battle wound
So ashamed, so confused
I was broken and bruised
Now I'm a warrior
Now I've got thicker skin
I'm a warrior
I'm stronger than I've ever been
And my armor, is made of steel, you can't get in
I'm a warrior
And you can never hurt me again
Out of the ashes, I'm burning like a fire
You can save your apologies, you're nothing but a liar
I've got shame, I've got scars
That I will never show
I'm a survivor
In more ways than you know
Cause all the pain and the truth
I wear like a battle wound
So ashamed, so confused
I'm not broken or bruised
'Cause now I'm a warrior
Now I've got thicker skin
I'm a warrior
I'm stronger than I've ever been
And my armor, is made of steel, you can't get in
I'm a warrior
And you can never hurt me
There's a part of me I can't get back
A little girl grew up too fast
All it took was once, I'll never be the same
Now I'm taking back my life today
Nothing left that you can say
Cause you are never gonna take the blame anyway
Now I'm a warrior
I've got thicker skin
I'm a warrior
I'm stronger than I've ever been
And my armor, is made of steel, you can't get in
I'm a warrior
And you can never hurt me again
No oh, yeah, yeah
You can never hurt me again
