my Parents looked at me and
said back so bluntly,
“sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.’’
well, i never got hit
with sticks or stones
so i wouldn’t know.
but i have been beaten with your words,
and struck with all
Your lies
and beaten with Your hatefulness
imagine my surprise
You said You’d never hurt me
but You never knew
that to get Your favor
just what i would do
my Friends look at me and
say with disgust in Their eyes, “You’re so mean and self-centered. Stop being so selfish.”
well, You never knew
me and whatever You thought
i wasn’t going through
my Teachers look with wonder
and whisper quietly, “I wonder what could have happened, I liked what she used to be.”
well sorry i’m not good enough
won’t miss me when i’m gone
‘cuz just You wait and see
You’ll miss me when i depart.
