Poems From A Thought-Filled Girl

Words

They tell me who to be
They tell me what I like
They tell me everything I'm supposed to be
Well guess what?
I'm me.

You think you can hurt me
Sure, you've succeeded.
But
Will I ever really show it?

Sticks and stones may break my bones
Words may hurt me
But you don't scare me

Sure, I cry
Sure, I'm broken
Sure, I'm hurt
But will you ever see that?

I'm stronger then you think
Take caution
I'm coming back
Stronger
Sticks and stones hurt
Words do not
