Words Do Hurt
Many people tend to think
“Stick and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me”
But let me tell you the truth about that
Words are the one thing
That can drive a sane man insane
The hurt you get by those sticks and stones
Will heal faster than the hurt you get
From those words
Some people don’t realize that
They continue on everyday
Breaking someone down
Whether they know it or not
Truthfully they should know it
If the person isn’t smiling or laughing
Words are so powerful
So strong
So deadly
But still no one seems to take notice
Many teens are taken down everyday
By their peers
But their peers either don’t seem to care
Or don’t seem to notice
Most just don’t seem to care
Because I have seen so many people in school
Constantly bring people down everyday
And not give a damn about it
I think that we need to do something about this
Because words are so deadly
Many teens have killed their selves
Or have attempted to
Only because of the pain and torment
They went through either at home or at school
And it’s mostly at school
And we need to open our eyes to this
Not just blow it off to the side
Because sooner or later
Another teen is going to become apart of the statistic
Of killing their selves
Because of what people said to them
BEWARE
