No Picture Average	#1 by Riqu - at Jan 22, 1979 at 11:31 AM EST
	I dont understand what Otep is trying to get across...are we supposed to feel sorry for her...are we supposed to realize that shit like this does happen...or are we supposed to be angry for the fact that this happened to her and we cant do anything about it...whatever the reason may be I love her music and the feelings she puts into every song

	amazing song... i just want to know... is it autobiographical of Otep's life or is she just championing a cause?

	i always understood it as autobiographical...if you listen to the actual song the music really gets to you and gets you pissed. which, of course is the intent. but it keeps you thinking for a long time after you hear it. this is one of my favorite songs but not for the weak at heart

	....and she makes kittie fuckin suck!!!!!!!

No Picture evan Average	#5 by evan at Apr 5, 2007 at 10:31 AM EST
	I always understood this song as being autobiographical... I think that this song is the greatest. Its no secret that Otep has experienced sexual abuse before and by making this song she is tring to make others aware of it. That this is a major problem and the people who do sexually abuse children should pay. In fact not only children, but all victems. This song I can relate to alot. Not from my own personla experiences but from a dear, close friend of mines. They have gone through this as a child and they juat recently went through it again. I love the fact the Otep is real and raw with her music and lyrics. It makes me appriciate even more. Thank you.
