Sticks and Stones
January 7, 2014
“Sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me.”
I’ve heard no greater lie in my little life.
A stick or a stone can hurt my body
But pain fades away and is soon forgotten.
Words can reach into my heart and beat my soul
But broken hearts and shattered souls are hard to repair,
And the pain never quite goes away.
