Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me
I think I finally know what it means

At first I was one of the cases that proved this little saying wrong
For the words and phrases others threw were strong
Slamming my head on the wall against my will
Pinching my skin leaving marks all over

But then I realized take there words and find the true meaning
Find that and their words are less demeaning
They no longer have the power to make you feel
So small that you feel like an ant with the that glass above you
as they try to burn you



Take the words they throw at you and toss back the meanings
Toss them with such force that they recognize what their words means
then walk away and smile
and chant

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me
