At age 8 it their words sounded like
Stupid
Fat
Ugly
Dumb
"It's just words. It's not a big deal"
At age 10 it got worse
Worthless
Unwanted
Just die already!!
Suicidal freak!!
"It's just words. it's not a big deal"
Age 12 brought words like
Faggot
Homo
Dyke
Abomination
"It's just words. It's not a big deal."
But when I am alone at night, I meet age 10
When I look in the mirror, age 8 comes back again.
And age 12 revisits when I have conversations about religion.
What's so funny about the bullying is you never really escape because after 7 years of it,
It becomes part of you.
Destroying the most beautiful parts of your mind.
"It's Just words. It's no big deal."
Because to many pills have been swallowed.
To many nooses have been tied.
To much blood has flowed from to many wrists.
So yeah. Words are kind of a big deal.
