What Words Can Do

It may be true that sticks and stones break my bones But words will always hurt me Some try to pick me up But I stumble and trip Till I fall again Deeper and deeper Sinking into this black pond That's growing into a ocean The words that I herd Filling me with hate I try to escape your grip But these chains that bind me Keep there hold pulling my soul into this black pit
