Your Words

I'm the shy girl that you see
that walks with my head down
the girl that never speaks
for fear of being battered
by all those words of yours
you know, the ones that cut me down
make me feel small inside
that cause me fear and pain
it's hard enough at school
but it follows me home, too
your words stay in my head
and attack me online too
you don't know the pain you cause
when you point out all my flaws
I know what they are, I see them
you only make it worse with your words
to make yourself feel powerful
you push me to that point
the point of giving up
all because you felt the need
to use your words for pain
