"sticks and Stones"
As a child we had a very hard life.
When I got older and started school
I always made friends.
Until the 5th grade then there was laughs
dirty names behind my back.
Cause I wasn't rich like those other kids
me and my brother we shared our clothes.
He wore my jeans and I wore his.I was a
tomboy so moma saved money.
We had alot of self worth but sometimes
those feelings get hurt.
So no one accepted us for being poor so
as we growed up we changed.
We made our own friends that were just like
us.The words that they said didn't matter.
Here's a few words to always remember:
STICKS AND STONES MAY BREAK MY BONES
BUT NAMES WILL NEVER HURT ME.
