Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.

Please, who am I kidding?

Words do hurt.

They hurt as much as being abandoned.
They could be the most painful way to kill someone on the inside.

Oh, but we don't tell them that.

We let them say what they want because in the end they're nothing but a distraction.

Words do hurt me and stones do too, but just because they hurt me doesn't mean they'll always hurt you.
