Words hurt

You should know bullying hurts,
With words fat, ugly, worthless,
It make me useless in my own tales
But wait, like paper, words hurt

Are you afraid of me?
Can you see what I see?
Cause I fall like I am a feather
Crying at school everyday.

This is when enough is enough,
All I want is to forget,
Just like coins to bet,
Words hurts.

Do you want to see me shattered?
Giving you the power?
Stomach feeling pressure like butterflies,
Hurting like my weeping fears?

Am I not worth enough?
Are you just like me,
Treating me like i’m a stupid dog
Wanting a response for school.

You may kill me until I die,
You may trip me until I crack,
You may hit me with pure ugliness,
But wait, like evil, words hurt.

Do you hate on happiness?
Are you tired of constant pressure,
Like your behind me twenty four seven,

Under like you don’t get lectured?

Standing for what’s right at all times
Words hurt
Up above like you did this for crimes
Words hurt
I’m an angel across, fighting and saving,
Weeping and shielding I made for sometime.

Remembering those terrifying thoughts and frights
Words hurt
Having nightmares all day and night
Words hurt
Believing in something and having the wait,
Hope will come if you get help for your sake.
Words hurt
Words hurt
Words hurt
