Words Hurt

The words

That you type

Without a care in the world

Whilst sitting behind your computer screen

Tear me apart

And make me feel worthless.

I know I'm a freak

And that nobody likes me

But you don't have to rub it in my face

And remind me that I was rejected

By the boy I cared about the most.

The words

That you type

Without a second thought

Tear me apart

And make me feel useless.

I know I'm ugly

And that I barely have any friends

But the things you say really do hurt

And although you'll probably forget every word you said

They remain in my mind

For days, and weeks, and months.

One day,

The words that you say

As a joke or a laugh

Will tear me apart so much

That I will no longer be there to hear them.

Because words hurt,

More than any physical pain can

And sometimes

They can destroy a person

And maybe your hateful words

Will eventually destroy me.

So be careful what you say

Because words have the power

To break someone

But they also have the ability

To make things better

If you use them in the right way.
