They tell the broken child
Who cries because she believes
The lies of all those demons
And the others who deceive
The little rhyme
About sticks and stones
But what they don't see
Is the broken bones
The bones of her spirit
Where no one thinks to check
Those words they say
Are like a noose around her neck
Tightening even further
With every comment said
Making her wish more and more
That she were truly dead
So next time you hear
Sticks and stones
Please remember
They do beak bones
Words can hurt
And break your heart
That's how my world
Truly fell apart…
No one believed me
When I said I was breaking
No one listened
When I said I was aching
So I took that knife
And slit my throat
They finally listened
When they read that note...

Description:
"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me..." This is probably one of the biggest lies told to a child. Infact, verbal bullying/abuse is one of the main causes of suicide amongst teens ages 5-14. Words hurt and cut deeper than anyone can ever imagine, and the sad thing is... No-one believed them when they said it hurt.
