We’re told that words can never hurt us
That the wounds they leave are just cuts
But the shrapnel’s made its mark
And struck the spark
There aren’t any visible scars
There hiding behind closed bars
Waiting for the moment
For the gates to open
Just because I’m different doesn’t mean you can
tease me
Hurt me
Abuse me
I’m just the same as you,
And that doesn’t mean that words don’t hurt
And you can throw me in the dirt
Think before you say
Think before you tease
That person is just the same as you
