Sticks and stones
may break your bones
But words,
Words can shatter you to pieces.
Some may say don't worry about it
Forget it, move on.
Others may say don't listen
Ignore, you're strong.
What they fail to realise is
like the broken glass
the damage is irreparable,
It's no child's game.
Like that ball of paper,
crumpled, caved in
Despite everything
It won't ever be the same.
