yk i rlly hate that saying "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" cuz like who came up with this
*******
Sticks and Stones
"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me."
Until words became warnings that pierced deeper than sticks
Until words became weapons that hit harder than stones
Until words became written signs that I would never be enough
Broken down with all those attacks
I sit outside at night, watching the sky
At least the stars didn't try to cut me down like a tree
But how did it feel to be free of judgement?
How did it feel to be loved for your flaws?
How did it feel to sleep in peace, without the echo of insults dancing in your head?
Years later, after words tore through my heart
I now know the truth about reality
For sticks and stones may break my bones
But words will always hurt me
