Invisible Darts

Sticks and stones Break my bones But words could never hurt me I repeated the rhyme again and again Aghast to no end You broke me again The pain is real The words cut deep The tears stained my cheek Teachers try but you're that pesky fly That never gets spotted You know my pain You find your gain Take it away I say You just begin again To shoot me with invisible darts no more I say you just killed my heart

Thanks for the welcome. I'm a high school student who loves poetry. I don't do much besides work and school so poetry has really become an outlet for me in more ways than one. I'll try and post more of my poems for your enjoyment. Sarah.

:( words do cut deep, deeper than sticks and stones.
