Words, words, that are etched into my skin;
Words, that I hear everyday and every night;
Words, that have always destroyed me from within.
What you have said has changed how I look at myself;
And maybe you didnt mean it but it did hurt;
And every time you say something it adds to the shelf.
Words, they do have an impact on someone;
Words, they dont go unheard and they do hurt;
Words, hold enough power to cause someone to pick up a gun;
I wish we would all stop even if it's for a minute and think;
That words can and do have an affect on someone;
Because every time you say somethings like that it will sink.
Words, do affected how we see ourselves and others;
Words, they affect the things we and they affect how we feel;
Words, you never know how often they hear them from fathers and mothers.
The things that we use to hurt, the things that you always say;
Ugly, Stupid, Worthless,Mistake, Reject;
Will affect us, then we see ourselves this way.
Words, Can really really bruise and burn and cut deep;
Loser, Whore, Creep, Slut, Nerd, Bitch, Freak;
Words, stay in my head and my heart, so I hope that I don't fall apart and just fall asleep.
