Sticks and stones

Stick and stones can Braked your bones

But words will tear your soal into tiny pieces

Maybe not all at once

But little by little

Slice by slice

The wounds will heal

But the wounds of the soal takes more the just time

And if those wounds don't heal

U die, not physically you can't be that Lucky

, no I can't be that lucky

When your soul bleeds it bleeds hope

Hope of change, hope of man kind, and hope that you are not the words, that people call you.

 

My soul has ran dried befor,

Sliced way to many time

And me with no confidence to stich it back up

I was to the point of opting out,

Saying **** it.

 

I was tired of being called a freek tired of being told  that I am less

That my life ment nouthing

Then I started to bleave it

That the world would be better with out me

And hell it would of been

I did not contribute to this world

Never made a change

 

I was so **** close

Blood flowing down my wrist

My mettifulical soul

Looking like my wrist

And obviously I lived

 

But you don't get over that kind of **** alone

It doesn't despair

It builds

U need a rope to get out of that rapid

You know what mine was.....

Words

The same thing that sliced my soal

That night I dreamed

That I was a writer

That my words did more good than the words of the outhers did harm

Not just for me but for others like me

Despair oozing out of them

Hatred coating there mind

That the only thing keeping them alive

Was the fact they cut across the tracks and not along

 

The next day I wrote

I wrote stories and poems

Letting my worries of the fuecher draw hope from the page and into me

Letting me clime out of my self pity

Without drugs

Without other people (the way I do everything)

And I lived

Not like I was, day by day

No I was finally alive I wanted to live

Not just because its what was expected

But I wanted this, I wanted my dream

I wanted to save not just my life

But some one else

To tell them

Yea words can beat you down, drag you to your grave, dig u a 9foot grave and berry you

But they can also brang you back to life, more alive than before.

Words can give you some thing that you felt you never had

Love, and love is what repair the wounds of your soul,

Show you that you have a reason to live,

No matter if those words are internal or external

They can heal you, and free you from the world that I once feared
