Eminem and Rihanna have a song out that talks pretty explicitly about an abusive relationship. They guy jumps back and forth between strong feelings of remorse and strong feelings of anger.
Thing thing is, when I was talking to some people about this song the other day, I called it beautiful. That took everyone by surprise. No one else really agreed. Looking back on it, it does seem strange to call it beautiful, but I don't take it back.
The song isn't beautiful because it's about abuse. It's beautiful because it highlights something that's a real issue in the world. I think it accurately depicts how emotions can change. It accurately depicts how you can go from "I won't ever again" to violence.
How do I know? Cause it's an issue I've had to deal with. Not quite to violence, but anger that would've had it gone unchecked.
