My Story
Fort Worth based folk singer-songwriter Blaine Mitchell. It’s funny because I’ve always been the guy from NBC The Voice tv show, but what most don’t know is that for a season I had no voice at all. As a man I stayed silent, isolated, and alone. This seemed more honorable than reaching out for help in the darkest season of my life, as I was being abused physically, emotionally, sexually, financially, and mentally. Honestly, I was caught in such a swirl of my abuser’s manipulative tactics. I had no idea what to do. It took deep rooted faith and action to find my voice again, and to repair everything that had been ripped away from my life. With the help of professionals who see this happen daily and a few deep loving friends I found that. I will never be silent again, and no one should ever feel this way. That’s where my new song “Losing Myself” came from, it is a song about finding oneself again. It’s an emotional overflow of what came to me sitting at my piano in about 15 minutes, after I scraped myself to freedom from my abusers control. This song pulled the last emotional arrow out of my soul I’d say that day. Of course there will always be scars, but scars fade with time. It’s also terrifying to admit all of this, but I am a survivor, and in the name of freedom may freedom be found for you! Stay strong find your voice again. There is no weakness in finding help. When you’re at the bottom of a well trapped in darkness, there’s always a light. You just have to be willing to reach for it. “Losing Myself” My 4 minute story of finding freedom.
