In the letter shared on her new docuseries, the 'Dangerous Woman' hitmaker calls the May 22, 2017 tragedy 'so poisonous' that it 'will leave me speechless and filled with questions for the rest of my life.'

AceShowbiz - Ariana Grande is left scarred for life by the 2017 bombing taking place at her Manchester concert. In the fourth episode of her newest docuseries titled "Dangerous Woman Dairies", the 25-year-old songstress shared a heartfelt letter in which she claimed she would never truly heal from the "horrendous" tragedy.

The letter the "God Is A Woman" crooner wrote eight months after the bombing was kicked off, "I'm writing to you this February 22, 2018. It's been eight months since the attack at our show at the Manchester Arena. It's impossible to know where to start or to know what to say about this part." She continued, "May 22, 2017, will leave me speechless and filled with questions for the rest of my life."

The 25 year-old went on to describe what music meant to her. "Music is an escape," she described. "Music is the safest thing I've ever known. Music -- pop music, stan culture -- is something that brings people together, introduces them to some of their best friends, and makes them feel like they can be themselves. It is comfort. It is fun. It is expression. It is happiness. It is the last thing that would ever harm someone. It is safe."

"When something so opposite and so poisonous takes place in your world that is supposed to be everything but that... it is shocking and heartbreaking in a way that seems impossible to fully recover from," the former fiance of Pete Davidson further pointed out. She went on to note how she and her team were motivated to keep on going by people of Manchester, the families affected and her fans.

In the letter, Grande also opened up about what she learned from the tragedy. "To continue during the scariest and saddest of times. To not let hate win. But instead, love as loudly as possible, and to appreciate every moment," she wrote. "The people of Manchester were able to change an event that portrayed the worst of humanity into one that portrayed the most beautiful of humanity.”

Before ending the letter, the former "Victorious" actress quoted one of her favorite musical, "Wicked". "'Like a handprint on my heart,'" she wrote. "I think of Manchester constantly and will carry this with me every day for the rest of my life."

Twenty two people were killed and hundreds others were injured when a suicide bomber detonated an explosive at the entrance point of Manchester Arena on May 22, 2017. The incident took place as people made their way out of the concert venue after Grande competed her gig as part of her "Dangerous Woman Tour".

One year after co-organizing One Love Manchester charity concert, Grande opened up about how the bombing caused her to suffer from PTSD. "It's hard to talk about because so many people have suffered such severe, tremendous loss. But, yeah, it's a real thing," she told British Vogue. "I know those families and my fans, and everyone there experienced a tremendous amount of it as well. Time is the biggest thing. I feel like I shouldn't even be talking about my own experience -- like I shouldn't even say anything. I don't think I'll ever know how to talk about it and not cry."
