Silence is Golden

Sticks and stones may break your bones but words will never hurt you. Or at least that’s what they say. As if words have no significance in your life. Words like freak for instance. A simple word with a simple definition but when used in reference to you it becomes less simple. More menacing and hurtful. Words can build up a person as much as they can tear them down. No matter what you do once something is said can’t be taken back. Phrases like I hate you is another example. They may roll of your tongue so easily but the after effect can be devastating. Especially if they are the last words that someone ever hears.

My names Light Rayne and my story begins and ends with words, both heard and unspoken. My story starts on the first day of junior year of High School. Or as i liked to refer to it: my own personal hell.
