Can they hear what they say?
Do they know what it means?
Do they even know why?

Words can be like knives…
Causing tears, and sometimes blood.
Bones they may not break, but souls they can crush.

Lies. They spread.
Rumors. They whisper.
“Jokes.” They tell.
It’s all fun and games.

Until it’s turned on them then nothing matters.
It’s all just harmless chatter.

Ha!

Those who hurt hide in fear.
“Can’t they see my tears?”
You change the way you see.
“What’s wrong with me?”

You can’t see that it’s not you.
Don’t let what they say make YOU disappear.
One day things will change.
