When words are no longer what they used to be
What will I use to rescue me?

Cuts and scratches may bleed but they heal.
A temporary pain is all you feel

But the wounds leave by words cut really deep
Into your consciousness the slowly seep.

"They are just mean words that people use"
But is it the same when you're being verbally abused?

Physical scars reminds us of a pains in the past.

But the ones left by words will forever last.

A tool that should be used to uplift and build.

Break you down, you'll feel like nothing. Not even a glass half filled.

So when you're told "stick and stones may break your bones" it is true to every word.
But the real culprit lurking unblamed, are those painful things you've already heard.
