People always say...
Sticks and stones can break your bones
But words can never hurt you
Those same people must not know
Words are like stones
People throw them around
Usually with out a care
There sharp edges
Poke and protrude
The thick skin we try to form
They end life's don't you know
But said words are told to never hurt
But just the other day
Some girl cut to deep
Bleeding out
For the world to see
Her pain marked on her skin
Oozing in her blood
Staining everything in its path
This simple
Naive little girl
Another victim
To the world's cruel words
But they were never meant to hurt her
That's what we all like to think
These words
Filled with hate and cruelty
Taking down teen after teen
Falling under the pressure
Of said society
Where bullying is like a religion
They prey on anyone who's assumed to be weak
The nerd
The short kid
The fat one
The freaks
The geeks
But when will this stop
When will everyone
Get fed up with the story's
Hearing how another life's gone
Never really living
A seven year old took their own life
Hung there selfs
Because no one stood in there corner
No one listened to there cries
Another young boy pulled the trigger
Couldn't take the beatings he received everyday
Not just at school but home to
The teachers claimed to never see it
But everyone heard
Never standing up for the lost souls
The stories go on forever
Never the same
Besides the endings
All ending in a loss
Another kid who couldn't take this cruel society
Where if your not this or that
