Words Words Words

by ShaniaS

My mother said that words cant hurt me But I think she lied Because everyday I get attacked with words So much I’m afraid to open my mouth and use my own I fear my own words with come back and attack me You’re nothing You’re fat You’re stupid Why are you alive Shut up shut up SHUT UP! And to think words can create such beautiful things But also break beautiful things down I’m afraid to walk into that building again Because I know that where the attack begins Down the hallway to my locker I’m fighting the desire turn around and leave I hate the walls the confined me And the windows call for me to take a leap And the doors do nothing but trap me Surrounded by many I can only feel the heat from their bodies Then each take turns toying with my sanity To the last straw breaks And to the ground I go Not bloody or bruises But mental broken like a old tool Ding! Ding! There goes the bell Final Count You guess who won?

I know what it is like. It's just the way of the world. School is said to be the best years of a person's life. That's only half true. It is also the worst. What you have to do is find an outlet.....like your writing. you can do great things, you can do miracles!! with just putting words to paper(or a screen). I implore you, encourage you to keep writing. I'll be waiting for your book. :-)
