The Words Leave Scars

by WritingtheStars   Oct 27, 2012


The words you called me
Are floating around my mind.
No I didn't forget them.
No i didn't just brush them off,
Like I let on.
Yes they hurt,
Real bad.
Every word you call me,
Every insult and name,
I remember.
They leave scars you know.
The words everyone say
Leave the deepest scars on my heart
They hurt worse
Than the any physical pain anyone can cause me.
I go home everyday
And just sit there thinking of what everyone said
Thinking they're true.
None of them care,
So many people,
So many insults,
So many names,
So many scars,
So many tears.
So much hurt.
So little strength.
You know that old saying?
Sticks and stones may break my bones,
But words don't hurt at all.
Whoever came up with that saying
Didn't know anything about bullying.
I think I'd prefer the sticks and stones at this point.
