Words to Strength


The words you have said to me don't hurt

   I become stronger and more confident

    When you walk my way I smile

       You realize you can't hurt me

          So you become more downcast

            Why people who done nothing to you

               Everyday i lived that feeling of pain in my heart

                  I can give you a book of how much it hurts

                    Words you said mean nothing now

                       It is all in your head 

                          And it has changed me

                              Forever...
