Don't break my heart;
I only have one.
Instead, open your ears and take a listen.
All those painful words you say,
they don't touch me;
nope, no way.
They fly right past me;
they don't hurt me, clearly.

for now...

But you don't stop.
And sooner or later,
some of those words are going to get caught.
They'll make me feel
useless,
stupid,
hurt,
upset,
angry,
confused,
bad.
They'll scar me, won't let me go on.
Inside me, I'll never feel calm.
You and your bad words,
you can leave.
Go away and leave me in peace.
Don't hurt me with your words,
don't hurt anyone with them.
Don't use your bad words.
Ever. Again.
