People, our whole lives like to tell us that rhyme about sticks and stones as if broken bones hurt more than the names we are called.
But what happens when those names catch up to us?
I mean all this rhyme is doing is just teaching us to hide how much the names hurt. It teaches us to lose hope, to lose confidence in our self's, and to keep our emotions trapped inside our heads.
People say these rhymes and we take their word! Come to find out, they lied to us!!!!
Words hurt WAY more than a broken bone. Emotional pain stays with you forever. Physical pain comes and goes. I don't know about you but I would much rather feel physical pain than emotional pain!
That rhyme is a LIE! Don't believe it and if you do, you will at some point find out that you were lied to!
To every person who knows what I am talking about, know that you are beautiful no matter what. "And if you can't see anything beautiful about yourself then get a BETTER mirror, LOOK a little closer, STARE a little longer because there is something that made you keep going despite everyone who told you to quit!" - Shane Koyczan
