Live through this- Rappin' my wounds (10)

Here we read about toni blackman a hip-hop artist. The story is touching. its about her relationship with a man who is both psycically and mentally abusing her. he messes with her mind, making love with her and then saying he doesnt want her, he punches her, and yet she lets him because she is deeply in love with him and he 'touches her soul.' its a sadly common story. its almost a form of self punishment,she is twisted into believing tht this is her fault. this is what she deserves. we read that everytime she confronts him nothing changes and till she realises that she deserves better and that she is just punishing herself.
