Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will break my confidence

Words will break my trust

Words will linger in my head until who I am

Becomes who I was

They say that words wont make me bleed

That words won’t scrape my knees

But words will make me touch rock bottom

Drowning in my tears created seas

I was a child when I first started being bullied

They words started out small

Children being children

They said I wouldn’t remember it after all

But words are like tattoos

Permanently engraved on my being

Because words become beliefs

Once your forced to start agreeing
