"Sticks and stones may break my bones, But words will never hurt me." That's the one saying that never makes him feel like dirt you see. He gets pushed and pulled Into dark hallways in and out of school And gets called a "fool" They seem to like to call him a "tool" Because he's mentally disabled Till this day he hates the label He stables his skin, For wrist cutting is the only way to Bend    For his friend, She doesn't blend in For they throw stickers stones Knowing she is skin in bones "She" wasn't born this way And till this day she eats and eats She stands over the toilet seat on her Knees They call her "The Bulimic Freak" 85 pounds, "she is weak" They both say life never seemed so bleak They get made fun of just because their unique, At night there parents kiss them on the cheeks And they tell them, Sticks and stones may your break bones, But words will never "hurt you"

Sticks and Stones
"Sticks and stones may break my bones, But words will never hurt me." That's the one saying that never makes him feel like dirt you see. He gets pushed and pulled Into dark hallways in and out of school And gets called a "fool" They seem to like to call him a "tool" Because he's mentally disabled Till this day he hates the label He stables his skin, For wrist cutting is the only way to Bend    For his friend, She doesn't blend in For they throw stickers stones Knowing she is skin in bones "She" wasn't born this way And till this day she eats and eats She stands over the toilet seat on her Knees They call her "The Bulimic Freak" 85 pounds, "she is weak" They both say life never seemed so bleak They get made fun of just because their unique, At night there parents kiss them on the cheeks And they tell them, Sticks and stones may your break bones, But words will never "hurt you"
