Words can break the soul

Sticks  and stones may break the bones
But words can break the soul
Words stick to the mind like super glue
Replay over and over
Jumping over hurdles to get over
Imprinting the narrative 
Creating self limiting blue prints
For we are our own beliefs 
Sticks and stones will always be thrown
But words leave wholes the will never  heal
They steal the places in the head
Where the mind is mislead
Casting aside logic 
Like using black magic 
Spell bound to the words that was said
Cutting deep deep inside the head
Sticks and stones may break the bones
But words can break the soul
Simple slip of the tongue
Cut throat to cut deep
Irrational words to speak
Casting aside your true beliefs
Becareful with the word's you speak
It can cause someone's soul to get buried deep
Simply by the words we choose to speak
