The Curse

Words are just words
It's action that hurts
I can't do action, so I'll do it with poems
I want you to read all the pain that you fed
Anguish in your future, take some pills for your head
Love will not find you or even be near
You'll be lonely forever, and I hope I can leer
Your looks will be gone and you're mind, it will crumble
Causing you to look up at all that is humble
Happiness and consolidation are not in your view
I hope you read this, and take it literally, for I'm talking about you

Not a bad write. For correct grammatical purposes: In your last sentence, change "literal" to "literally". You need an adverb instead of an adjective in that place.
