Sticks and stones may break my bones
But words can never hurt me


We are taught that lie as we grow up
However
Words do hurt


The wounds from sticks and stone can heal
The wounds caused by words may never heal


The wounds caused by sticks and stones
Only show on the outside
The wounds caused by words
Go much much deeper within


Sticks and stones may break my bones
But words can never hurt me


What a lie
