WORDS CAN HURT

DONT KNOW WHY

BUT ALL I KNOW

IS THEY MAKE ME CRY

WORDS CAN HURT

WHY DO THEY BULLY ME?

IM INNOCENT BUT

DO THEY SEE?

WORDS CAN HURT

BUT WILL THEY SEE

THAT THEIR CRUEL WORDS

ARE HURTING ME

IF ONLY ALL THE WORDS COULD STOP

OR ELSE I POP

<p>I was really touched by the use of the poem. I now have this stuck to my heart,and i have many questions. Why do we get bullied? Do some of us actually deserve it? Why do we get hurt by what others say?</p>
