No "farmer's daughter" anymore


**Warning: Some Profanity


I just found this song this morning. Having never watched "American Idol" I had no idea who she was and I still dont know much about her singing style or what not.
But this song is really, really, poignant.
It talks about doubting your self and your sanity.
It talks about being so fed up with life that you curse and rage.
It talks about parents playing games with you.
It talks about the deep longing for affection and care.
I talks about the struggle facing those who "honor" yet cannot reconcile the conundrum of "honor" and "love."
It talks about the glaring fault of God for making life like this.
It talks about the problem for future generations of living with such a messed up life inheritance.
It talks about giving an ultimatum.
It talks about upholding boundaries, saying enough is enough.
It talks about cutting off relationships abruptly, painfully.
It talks about painful memories that crop up.... often.
It talks about the difference between public life and home life.
It talks about hiding things from other people.
It talks about making up lies in order to keep secrets.
It talks about the deep longing for affection and care.

Im no "Farmer's Daughter" anymore...
