Words hurt


You should know bullying hurts, With words fat, ugly, worthless, It make me useless in my own tales But wait, like paper, words hurt Are you afraid of me? Can you see what I see? Cause I fall like I am a feather Crying at school everyday. This is when enough is enough, All I want is to forget, Just like coins to bet, Words hurts. Do you want to see me shattered? Giving you the power? Stomach feeling pressure like butterflies, Hurting like my weeping fears? Am I not worth enough? Are you just like me, Treating me like i’m a stupid dog Wanting a response for school. You may kill me until I die, You may trip me until I crack, You may hit me with pure ugliness, But wait, like evil, words hurt. Do you hate on happiness? Are you tired of constant pressure, Like your behind me twenty four seven, Under like you don’t get lectured? Standing for what’s right at all times Words hurt Up above like you did this for crimes Words hurt I’m an angel across, fighting and saving, Weeping and shielding I made for sometime. Remembering those terrifying thoughts and frights Words hurt Having nightmares all day and night Words hurt Believing in something and having the wait, Hope will come if you get help for your sake. Words hurt Words hurt Words hurt
