Words don't hurt she said

Get over it they said

Stop being sensative he said

.....But you don't understand I said

Words Hurt

Why do you care? she screamed

Learn to walk away they screamed

Just ignore them  he screamed

.....Its not that easy I screamed

Words Hurt

But you know what hurts more?

That one word that no matter how you say it

It stings. Like being pierced by a needle.

That one word that no matter how you say it

Makes you wanna cry. Like a child who lost a loved one.

So here it is: "Retarted"

The word that I shouldn't care about

The word that I need to stop being so sensative towards

The word that I was told to ignore.....

Because words don't hurt right?

WRONG.

Spread the Word to end the Word

Because words DO hurt
