Cover art for Show Me How to Live lyrics by Audioslave

I was born with birth defects and was sent home the day I was born on the condition I would die quickly. 9 days later I turned blue, but instead of letting me die my mother demanded that they save me. What a mistake, I had to live with a colostomy as a child and had numerous invasive procedures done to me. I relate to this song a lot, especially the built with stolen parts part. This song came on today and word for word I relate to it. I always felt like a monster in a way, even though they removed my colostomy, the memories of the horror of it remain. Darkest comment I ever posted, luckily nobody knows who I am here.

@brokentelephone78 I'm so sorry u went through that

@chrismattgard Thanks for your kind words. Whatever doesn't kill you makes you resilient. I was pretty shook up when Chris ended his life though. Still can't believe it, he was one of the best. Cheers.
