'Sticks and stones may break my bones

But words can never hurt me'

....

What a load of bullshit

I have plenty of cuts, scars, bruises

You name it

But the one thing that stuck with me most

The one thing

Was the words

'Freak'

'F*g'

'Useless'

'Waste of space'

He said

He meant

And I knew

It was true

My parents did leave after all

They left me

They left me...

But it's fine

I know they had a reason

But does he really have to bring it up

How the fuck does he even know?

Things are complicated

Things are confusing

Nothing makes sense

Not this phantom world

Not my grandparents

Not the bullies

Nothing

It's all...

Black.

I woke up

It happened again

I was there

He keeps repeating it to me

'They left'

I know they did...

Why won't it stop

Words do hurt

Sticks and stone don't do shit compared to words

Stop lying

Stop it

Just...

Stop.
