Words Will Always Hurt Me

Why
Sometimes I wonder
Why the world is how it is
So full of hate and misery
I wish the whole world could see
The affect that their words have on me
And countless others
To this day
Sticks and Stones
Means nothing to me
Words hurt, scar and kill
Create deep wounds that never heal
Self-doubt and pain
Like standing in a never ending rain
Of cruelty and misery
Take a look in the mirror
Do you like what you see
Do you like the person you choose to be
So full of hate so full of greed
Maybe you have a reason that you are the way you are
But I’d rather know you from afar
Keep your opinions to yourself
No one wants to hear the words you spit out
Sticks and stones will break my bones
And your words will always hurt me
