    I was this child and I survived. A lot of people who suffered this pain then go on and do it to their children. Break the cycle and be better. Always an amazing song. Such a powerful voice and message.

      I’m so sorry you experienced this. I was this child too. My parents were divorced when I was very young but although I loved my mom it was neglect when I was with her because she was an addict. When I went to my dads it was physical abuse from him and physical and psychological from who I call my evil stepmother. I have a mind full of mental health issues now with my biggest struggles being PTSD (or CPTSD now) and Major Depressive disorder. But I 100% agree that we have to break that cycle. There’s no way I’d ever bring a child into this world knowing that I would make a terrible parent. I can’t imagine putting an innocent child through even a small percentage of what me and my siblings went through. Thank you for being better. I know for a fact that I’ll do my damnedest to be better too when I finally decide to have kids.

      Exactly, this song is so sad and powerful.
      I have been considered "cold" and I even acknowledge that I can be, so sometimes I go to this song or some others just to feel "warm".

    I am 68 yo man that has heard more music than I could ever remember. My daughter , now 30 yo, became huge fans of Martina about two decades ago. We were fortunate that she played a venue here in NH shortly after the song was released. Powerful is an understatement hearing it live. Martina is a cut above IMO. Her voice and lyrics are one of a kind . She sings on topics that need to be heard/discussed. She is the definition of class.

    This thread of all who have suffered abuse in our childhoods but all finding solace in this song is so beautiful to me. My heart hurts for the pain you guys endured but I am so happy you all survived and get to have 4:08 minutes where you feel seen, heard, and loved. It’s not an easy life, but these small moments where we get to acknowledge and comfort our little selves are so profound. Get your healing anyway you can and love yourself for what you survived. I hope when you hear this song, millions of others are feeling what you are and you are not alone. I love you.

    When I was a little girl, I used to listen to this song almost everyday when I was in my abusive home. I came back to listen to it in 2019 now that my step dad was sent off to jail and my home is now full of love. I’m almost finished high school and have so many opportunities lined up, but when I was a kid I didn’t even think I’d have the opportunity to live. So grateful for how things turned out.

      Wishing you a life filled with much happiness. I remember watching a woman on a TV show who had been brutally rapped and stabbed multiple times, including both of her eyes and she stated "she wasn't going to let this man take the rest of her life". She spent many years in the hospital and was now blind----wisest words I ever heard. Wishing the same for you----don't let these people take the rest of your life. Go after what you want and have a good life-----the best revenge ever!!!

No child should be abused , or suffer. We should be loved , we deserve a parent but the parents don’t deserve us as much as we deserve them. I am so sorry to the ones who went through this, and i’m so sorry to the one who are still fighting. Y’all are very strong! God Bless you all! 💞💞

      Mine too and same except I'm a bit older because this song wasn't out when I was kid. I'm currently learning and trying to practice self love and self compassion. We deserve the all enduring, unconditional love that we always gave to everyone else but never received back. I hope you've done the work on yourself that you so deserve. Please don't wait til you're 50 like me, had a hemmhoragic stroke (brain aneurysm burst). Had my first AICD (pacer & defib) placed/implanted when I was 30. Now I have CHF and coronary artery disease and a triple A and another aneurysm on the other side of my head that hasn't burst yet. Not a candidate for surgery for either so we're "watchful waiting." I have plenty more health problems but I think you understand what I'm trying to tell you here. If you don't have your health you've got nothing.

    I remember seeing this music video on CMT as a small kid, and knowing it was sad, but not fully understanding. My mom was watching with me, and when I asked her about it, she had a strange reaction and wouldn't talk about it. We were at my grandparents house. Years later, I learned my mom lived the life of the girl in the song, abused at the hands of my awful grandmother. Nobody would help her or say anything, all too concerned with minding their own business. I'm glad they showed a woman as the abuser in this video, it's not acknowledged enough that women can be cruel and abusive too. I've decided to become an adoptive/foster parent, and help kids who've lived through these situations. If I can keep even one child from living through what my mother did, it will all be worth it.

      Please, please be good to those kids don't give up on them altho it's ok to say I'm not the best person to help this particular child. Idk how much you know about the foster care system but..it's bad..really bad. These kids are terrified and have to toughen themselves up to survive the environment they're put in, both at home before and in foster after. It changes them, makes them not trust anyone as young children. Please try your best to make them feel loved and safe and *believed* in, they need it (esp those last two) more than you know. There are some whose parents love them deeply the system just won't let them be together like with illegal immigrants often times or those in extreme poverty, don't let them forget how much their parents love them and that there are still good ppl out there. Thank you for everything you do for them and thank you for sharing your story. It sounds like you had a wonderful mother who raised an equally wonderful daughter. Wishing you all the best take care and stay safe out there.

I am also working on becoming trauma informed, and have attended classes about it. Many children that go into foster care need occupational and speech therapy services, but the state is often slow to provide them.

My children never endured this and now my grandchildren do not. God has set me free.

I was so lucky the abuse never got life threatening and that I was able to escape on a greyhound bus when I turned 17, but that doesn't make the trauma any easier to deal with. My parents are trying their best to make it up to me now that I'm 30, but I still have emotional wounds that will never be fully healed.

    To everyone saying there is no such thing as a permanent bruise, thank you. I did not know the medical term.. I do not understand why the fuck it bothers you all so much about this comment.

    She wore yesterday
    She hides the bruises with linen
    And lace
    The teacher wonders but she
    Doesn't ask
    It's hard to see the pain
    Behind the mask
    Bearing the burden
    Of a secret storm
    Sometimes she wishes she was
    Never born
    Through the wind and the rain
    She stands hard as a stone
    In her world that she can rise above
    But her dreams give her wings
    And she flies to a place where
    She's loved
    Concrete angel
    Somebody cries in the middle
    Of the night
    The neighbors hear, but they turn
    Out the lights
    A fragile soul caught in the hands
    Of fate
    When morning comes
    It'll be too late
    Through the wind and the rain
    She stands hard as a stone
    In her world that she can rise above
    But her dreams give her wings
    And she flies to a place where
    She's loved
    Concrete angel
    A statue stands in a shaded place
    An angel girl with an upturned face
    A name is written on a polished rock
    A broken heart that the world forgot
    Through the wind and the rain
    She stands hard as a stone
    In her world that she can rise above
    But her dreams give her wings

      Child abuse is handed down from parent to child. They use abuse because that's how their parents handled it. Often drug abuse is a factor because it creates poor judgement.
      My own personal story as a teacher was while working in China, were they still practice corporal punishment, I went to the principal when I saw a teacher hitting a child with a book. I got that teacher fired, but her friends then got me fired . ( I got transferred over to the International department, where the younger staff (and better trained) don't practice corporal punishment.

    Lyrics:
    She walks to school with the lunch
    She packed
    Nobody knows what she's
    Holdin' back
    Wearin' the same dress
    She wore yesterday
    She hides the bruises with linen
    And lace
    The teacher wonders but she
    Doesn't ask
    It's hard to see the pain
    Behind the mask
    Bearing the burden
    Of a secret storm
    Sometimes she wishes she was
    Never born
    Through the wind and the rain
    She stands hard as a stone
    In her world that she can rise above
    But her dreams give her wings
    And she flies to a place where
    She's loved
    Concrete angel
    Somebody cries in the middle
    Of the night
    The neighbors hear, but they turn
    Out the lights
    A fragile soul caught in the hands
    Of fate
    When morning comes
    It'll be too late
    Through the wind and the rain
    She stands hard as a stone
    In her world that she can rise above
    But her dreams give her wings
    And she flies to a place where
    She's loved
    Concrete angel
    A statue stands in a shaded place
    An angel girl with an upturned face
    A name is written on a polished rock
    A broken heart that the world forgot
    Through the wind and the rain
    She stands hard as a stone
    In her world that she can rise above
    But her dreams give her wings
    And she flies to a place where
    She's loved
    Concrete angel

      It probably took them a lot of guts to share this online, as a lot of people will read their story. It isn't self-pity shit, it's called sharing a story.
      I take it you probably weren't abused, as a child, but if you think that they are just doing this for attention, and nothing else, then go watch something else instead of wasting your time over here making very rude comments and replies to people. Dude congrats you just wasted your time on that comment making a dumb statement.

    I listened to this all the time as a kid and just randomly thought about it now and wanted to watch it again. As a child, it broke my heart thinking she didn't have a loving mommy. Now I'm a preschool teacher, and it breaks my heart even more thinking about that teacher (and the teachers in real life situations) not doing anything. As a teacher, we are mandated reporters and it is our JOB to report any kind of abuse we may see. I know this is a song/video but it showcases what happens some times in real life. It's disturbing and ugly and I just hope people want to reach out and help those they see that are in need. Especially a child.

I’ve always believed some songs we have to force ourselves to listen to though if it’s difficult for us to hear just imagine how difficult it was to endure! This will forever be the hardest song and most powerful for me to listen too. The visuals paired with audio just broke my soul years ago when I first heard and saw it and it continues to have the same impact as that first viewing to me. Such a beautiful song on every level!

      I can say the same thing not too long ago I was watching American crime which is based on the murder of Sylvia likens and I can't stop thinking about her and this song is just so heart-wrenching inside she died similarly like so many other kids

      My mum was a teaching assistant and she reported child abuse to the heads of the school, but they dismissed her, saying "kids say the dardnest things." My mum's excuse for not taking things further than that was because she didn't want to lose her job.

    Martina, the best singer of a "heartbreaker" I have ever heard. Concrete Angel the biggest ever. The way it starts me off I don't think I could watch or listen to Concrete Angel in public

      I remember reading a" child called it " in my child development class in high school and then " a boy named Dave" and a " Man named Dave'. It's insane every thing he went through to become the man that he is today. Another " concrete Angel ".

      Candace Casey I only recently was told there were other books he wrote later.
      It was reading his book that I discovered 2 things.
      1. That there is a pattern (right word ?) for all the siblings to join in on the abuse. I'm sure to keep it from being directed at them.
      2. That there were others like me, he of course suffered horribly.
      In those day 60s 70s no computer FB, 1-800 numbers to call for help, nobody talked about it, people didn't get involved
