Words Do Hurt

Many people tend to think “Stick and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me” But let me tell you the truth about that Words are the one thing That can drive a sane man insane The hurt you get by those sticks and stones Will heal faster than the hurt you get From those words Some people don’t realize that They continue on everyday Breaking someone down Whether they know it or not Truthfully they should know it If the person isn’t smiling or laughing Words are so powerful So strong So deadly But still no one seems to take notice Many teens are taken down everyday By their peers But their peers either don’t seem to care Or don’t seem to notice Most just don’t seem to care Because I have seen so many people in school Constantly bring people down everyday And not give a damn about it I think that we need to do something about this Because words are so deadly Many teens have killed their selves Or have attempted to Only because of the pain and torment They went through either at home or at school And it’s mostly at school And we need to open our eyes to this Not just blow it off to the side Because sooner or later Another teen is going to become apart of the statistic Of killing their selves Because of what people said to them BEWARE
