Words Will Forever Hurt Me

I’m tired of self inflicted misery, That would be the real travesty In my life I made so many mistakes Only God can judge me and know my fate Only pain, loneliness, and sorrow make a home here, But I do have a heart that cares And it is constantly warring and tearing me apart. Do you feel like everything bad in your life is your fault I’m unable to complete an apologetic sentence But it is all in the name of repentance All these words don’t take away the pain It feels like a down pour of cold rain I never point the finger because I’m the one to blame But I have learned to never live with shame Even if it is four letter words It stings inside so badly when they are heard There is no place for them to go put stay and hide They tend to crush the spirit agonize pride To me words hurt more than a hit The real truth is I do not want any part of it It does not matter if it is in person or on the telephone Stick and stones may break my bones I know misery loves company But words will forever hurt me
