Silent cries
"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me"
why does she starve herself?
you're fat
those are just words
why does she hate what she sees in the mirror?
you're ugly
those are just words
why is he afraid to speak in class?
you're stupid you studder
those are just words
why does he wish he was dead?
you're worthless kill yourself
those are just words
why does she cries as she stares at the computer screen
you're a slut
if those are all just words why do they hurt so much?
