Sticks and stones may break my bones
But the words you stay still hurt me
They crawl into my brain
Invading my thoughts
Controlling my actions
And dragging me down
I may put on a face
That says "So what?"
but deep inside I wonder
"What if there right?"
I know I should let it go
Be confident about myself
But I can't help it
When you're shooting me words
Like bullets
Shattering my concentration
And blocking my mentality
To where I can't think any longer
