My love falls like the rain
And
Falls into a puddle in your heart

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

Voices yelling at me
People hitting me
People punching me
People kicking me


Laughter is heard
I know I am the joke
They get their joy from my pain
They get their joy from my tears


They want me to hurt
Physically
Mentally
Emotionally
They want to laugh at my scars
They want to laugh at my life


Day after day
They laugh
Spit wads stick in my hair
They may be having fun
The fun stopped for me a long time ago

Stand up
Be true to yourself



No matter what life throws your way
Never lose who you are



Never forget where you came from
The trials you had to face
To be the strong person
You are today



Never lose sight of that
No matter what life throws at you
Stand firm
Stand strong
The battle will be won

She is known as the Dragon Queen
Tall
Slender
Flowing dark hair
Her eyes glow like the heart of a fire


But
Don’t be fooled
She is deadly
Her mouth spews fire with every word from her lips
Her use of the sword and dagger has no equal


Many have gotten in her way
Many have tried to stop her
They have all died

Some guy in your past hurt you
Now you hate every member of the male gender

Fine
I really don’t care
But please

Don’t judge this man
I have and never will do anything against you
Stop treating me like i some form of acid
Here to slowly eat you away

I mean you no harm
I never did
I never will

I know some guy in your past hurt you in a bad way
Not all men are like that
And frankly
I am getting tired of the accusing looks

The your judgemental views

I am proud of who I am
I am proud of what I’ve accomplished

No the road has not been easy
No I do not like the person I was

But

All that mess
All that pain
All that suffering
All the joy
Friends lost
Friends gained
Every aspect of my life

Has made me who I am
And

I am proud of that

We were childhood friends
Laughed
Played
Told jokes
The many fun times we had



But your family moved
We could not hang out like we used to
Climbing trees
building forts
or just talking



Then my family moved to another state
We wrote each other from time to time
But you know how things go



You were my friend
My partner in crime
Best buds to the end



Hope you are doing well
Hope life is treating you good

Sunny days
Hauling hay
Sweat pours down your face



Sunny days
Cutting wood
You’re tired
But work to be done



Sunny days
Cows are out once again
Find them
Bring them back
Fix fence
