sticks and stones may break my bones
words and taunts will haunt me
"true" loves leaving
time receding
hope nor glory am i needing
just something other than hurt and pain
and words
cutting down deep to the core
tripping falling forever more
save me from this wretched place
blood and tears drip from my face
others cannot help at all
they all wait and are watching for my fall
but i dont
i dont fall
i wont give in
i cannot will not let them win
i rise and look them in the eyes
so they can see that what they tried
has not worked
and never will
and that revenge is a bitter pill
to swallow
it only causes more pointless pain
and that we can all gain
from letting go
walking away
as the sun sinks down on this darkened day
