sticks and stones
break my bones
but words left
Me dead in
a heap I know
the saying sticks
and stones may
break your bones
but words will never
hurt you I
can say words
killed me as
they did but
the words were
poison spoken from
The devil in
the dark I
cry out in
pain hoping someone
would hear my
voice but my
voice grew silent
as days went
by and soon I
spoke no more
I cover the
scars of the
broken from the
words that were
spoken do not
Repeat the saying
Because it it
a lie words
can hurt you
as it hurt
me I can
never be fixed
but only cradled
for I might
break at the
slittest of words
for I have
Gone through hell
to be heard
but not seen
