"sticks and stones may break my bones
but words will never hurt me"

oh, please

sticks and stones may breaks my bones
but words will always stay with me

i remember when you called me a
girl
i remember when you called me a smartass
i remember when you called me a
crossdresser
i remember when you told me the rumors
about me

"they think you're gay. are you gay?"

i remember you lying to me
just your regular nonchalant routine
one more victim off the checklist
saved for another day
but most likely for tomorrow

why do i realize i'm in this shit
but don't save myself from it?
how can you be so deeply stuck
in the fucking muck
and not care enough
to dig yourself out of it?

i guess i'll tell you
when i get there.
