Do not tell me words don't matter
I know im skinny, i ******* look flatter
I try to gain weight, i want to look fatter

Once in school a girl called me goofy
I never realised i was overly toothy
A feeling of being judged by a jury

And in 2 weeks time im getting surgery

Words are stronger, than you might think
My jaw will be broken in four places
Knocked out cold unable to blink

Please take caution when ready to speak
Professionals, they feel forced to seek
It's unfortunate now but the decision is done
However i've seen less damage being fired from a gun
Once a girl called me goofy, 4 years down the line ive been wearing braces for 2 years and will be getting my jaw broken in 4 places and titanium plates put in to fix an overbite. One word can make a difference.
