Words Hurt
#2 of Poems
( This is something I wrote yesterday instead of a story I had planned, do to incredibly unfortunate circumstances... tis was a terrible day for me and my poetry tends to reflect how I feel. )
There is a phrase, a very common phrase
That had good meaning till one special day
Sticks and stones may break my bones,
But words will never hurt me....
It is a lie you see
Words are power in this world
They hold a lot of weight
Be it politicians, the president
Or the leader of a rebellion.
Words gave them power
Now back to the phrase,
A very simple phrase
A lie that we tell ourselves each day
Words do hurt,
They hurt worse than any stick or stone
A fox once proved this once,
A trusty good friend,
Then with a few words here and there...
Tore me to pieces.
So don't tell me this phrase,
This lie of a phrase
Words do hurt.
Quite a bit, you'll see
