“Sticks and stones can break my bones,

But words cannot hurt me.”

It's a saying we were taught.

Forget the words and let them rot.

The thing is,

Words do hurt.

The saying isn’t true.

Feel the hurt from your bully crew.

Words come without a cue.

All around there’s much ado.

You talk smack behind my back.

Just ‘cause you think you’re all that.

Guess what, you’re not.

Although you took a shot, said a lot, and gave all you got,

You got a new name to claim.

Not one deserving the fame nor acclaim.

Just the shame.

Just another bully added to the game.

I’m not the one deserving the blame.

The words you blurt are dirt.

They hurt. Leaving me always alert.

Think all of these are lies?

Look into my eyes.

You’ll then realize.

All you hear are my cries.

You’re the devil in disguise.

A human who needs to be re-baptized.

I haven’t lied.

Every night, I cried.

You’re crushing my pride.

This is the great divide.

People need to decide on a side to abide.

Every time you rise, I try to hide.

I tried, to avoid everything you say.

I tried, to live a better day.

I tried, but this is all foul play.

I tried to stand up, but you’ll just have your way.

I pray

To the God above

Just for him to fill me with love.

Holy Spirit be my guide.

I spoke to God and he replied.

My hands, now untied.

Display an attitude dignified.

He wants me to fight

With the strength he supplied.

In this game, I am now qualified

and you’ll no longer be satisfied.

My heart’s the only one that’s purified.

I’ll leave the hurt aside.

You’re the one who should be petrified.

Take a shot

Once you have your aim.

I’m not playing your game

Only because it’s lame.

I'm here to claim my prize.

My allies and I arise.

Yes, I finally rise

I’m greater is size.

Your bully game is done.

I outshine the Sun.

That's right, I have finally won.
