To the Rap Artist known as Eminem
Dear Mr. Mathers,
This song Im Not Afraid comes out from you straight striking the core of the soul,
every human life, the masses, the millions of fans
struggling through life trying to get out of that hole.
Cars, trucks, and SUV’s in passing echo your voice and beat, thumpin’ bumpin’ cutting through the air. With such conviction and strength the very essence of your spirit and will, so transparent, lyrically an extradinaire.
You’ve managed to put together the greatest album of your career and Ive only heard one song.
Ive never been into music like that I only have like 5 cd’s, but this one, this one, touches the soul.
I made very bad choices and it could’ve and would’ve cost me my life or health. I feared death when a crilled out psychopathic sociopath put a blade to my throat. I was barefoot and scared. I close my eyes and can see that eerie glare.
I was falling apart and spirilling out of control, dealing with panic attacks and finding some sense of self, where somehow I found a will, inside of me…. I started fighting to regain my life and repair the spirit that makes me, me.
I stood and watched my best friend give birth, a beautiful new life…not knowing it was my boyfriend’s baby, the deception and lies…. I was so stupid, and naïve…still struggling through the pain inside of me…
Stronger and stronger Ive become. Ive cut off all contact with those people that just shitted on me, I don’t need friends or fucked up people in general. One day they will all see.
Im working out hard, and taking care of me, pushing the haters and the trauma behind, to look to the horizon and push, push, open that door where a better life will be.
You’ve managed to speak to the hearts of every human life, the masses the millions of fans worldwide.
You’ve managed to put into words all my hopes and desires that are attainable, you just gave me that final umph… to get me through and with this song, yes, Im standing tall,
with my will and healing spirit Im right there with you listening and feeling what u say.
The tears roll down my face because this, this song…. is so beautiful. On June 22nd I’ll be taking your hand and I’ll be fighting that much harder to be a better me, You don’t realize what you did!! For me……. I can’t wait for you to show me the way…
Im not afraid….
