Content validity‚ on the other hand‚ is similar to face validity but differs in the way the results

Enough to feel the scream inside. The lines I wear around my wrist are there to prove that I exist. A broken mirror‚ a bleeding fist‚ a silver blade against a wrist‚ tears falling down to lips unkissed‚ she’s not the kind you’ll come to miss.” (http://xxdailydreamxx.tripod.com/id16.html) I took this poem from an
