Words can hurt more than punches ever will
' Witch '
' Druggie '
' Crazy '
The words you say can mean the world to some people
And nothing to others
' Leave me alone '
' What are you gonna cry '
' They are real '
' Look at her seeing things in the walls again '
No matter what you say no one cares
' Well, maybe you should just try and ignore them '
' If you respond, it'll only make it worse '
But you have to say something, you can't just sit there and take it like some sorta statue
So you fight back trying to hurt them with your own words
' Oh, I'm the crazy one. I'm not the one who that look was a good idea '
' At least I have better ways to spend my time than being a jerk '
It works, for a while
They back down
The insults grow quieter for awhile
Until the day when they come back full force
' Ew, did you see those two? '
' Seriously people like that should not be allowed to do that '
' Yo, lesbos '
They have found a new thing to torment
As they always do
But you don't care now
Your used to it
In the back of your head you can here your mother's voice telling you, '' They'll stop if you don't respond ''
But they don't
They never stop
Why would it be any different this time?
They spread rumors about you
' I heard that she practices witchcraft in the bathroom '
' Well, I heard she sells drugs '
Eventually the rumors get to administration
And your stuck sitting in the office, exasperated of trying to explain that you don't practice witchcraft or sell drugs or anything like that
The kids snicker when you get back to class
But you keep your head down
It's better if you don't talk about it
Less than an hour later your walking home
Holding hands with someone
Your not doing anything, nothings wrong
'' Oh, look isn't it these two again ''
'' You two really shouldn't be doing that ''
You ignore them and keep walking
Until you feel something hard and sharp hit the back of your neck
You turn around and see a rock fall to the ground
You look back to see the kids snickering
You roll your eyes and keep walking
You know your not the only one
They don't mean anything by it
Kids will be kids
But it still hurt
It will always hurt
Just the same way it did when you were ten years old and got called the weird kid cause you thought there were faces in the clouds
You remind yourself it doesn't matter
That one day it'll all be over
But it doesn't help
So you remind yourself that your not the only
And that they don't have to be a part of your life
One day you'll be free
One day it won't matter
It's just sad that today is not that day
