Sticks and Stones

The stones that are thrown to break my bones Pile up to they start to weigh And the sticks don't decay Nor do the words that you say That I thought would never hurt me

unkind words can be even more painful than physical punches, the damage can't be seen on the outside and the hurt remains long after bruises would fade:-( hugs Jan xx
