Stones

Sticks and stones may break my bones

And words will always hurt me 

They leave me with the kind of pain that I would call deserving 

I don't mind the pain

Not at all

But others will start to notice

If my legs buckle and fall

I'll blame it on the ibuprofen 

I'm perfectly fine

I needn't help

This is something I'll do on my own

But I'm not that fine

I need some help

I don't want to be left alone.
