I grew up with the saying 'stixs and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me' such a silly saying,
I never believed that saying yet those words left my mouth as if to some god I was praying,
I say those words with a smug smile and a trembling heart,
When I can't sleep that's when it starts,
Stixs and stones break my bones but the words haunt me,
Words are like poison to my brain they do not kill me instead they torture me,
They torture me until I slowly kill myself until everything I am is taken away,
Words fuel my body fuel my sadness fuel my pain fuel ..the blade that slides across my skin so smoothly its like its meant to be which is something I shouldn't say,
Words don't break bones in my body- words break me entirely.
