Sticks and stones may break your bones,
but words will break you apart
Broken bones learn to stand again
but scars never leave your heart
People say big words and laugh
For them it's a joke you don't understand
It's all fun and games
For the people who are on land
Because you're the one who's drowning
And the people with the lifesaver
Are saving it for a rainy day
And you aren't worth their favor
When you finally say what you mean
you give them a taste of their medicine
And you're the one who's caught
you, who had only just begin
You try and pretend you're invisible
so you can slip past their burning eyes
But nothing stops their scorching words
so you are consumed by red hot lies
Once they see your skeleton
the harsher words meet your ears
They won't stop till your dead inside
the process that took them years
You wish you had broken bones
because then the pain would distract you
from feeling the hurt you felt inside
because any lie is better than this truth
That you believe what they've been saying
when you look inside the mirror, unimpressed
too fat, too skinny, too ugly
when the world needs someone perfect
