The old saying goes
"sticks and stones may break my
bones but words will never hurt me'
If that's true why dose
it feel like someone is
taking a hammer to my head
as they spit words into my ears
that aren't true.
If words will never hurt me why
do so many people have lines
cut into their arms with the thousands
of horrible words flowing out of them.
Words do hurt more then broken bones.
A bone will heal, a heart and mind may not.
