Sticks and stones

by Marie   Apr 20, 2007


Stick and stones may break my bones
you know the rest
the nursery rhyme kids are taught
as if to make it a test

Words can hurt more than broken bones
more than anything in fact
especially words from those people
you'd thought had your back

actually from what I've seen
if sticks and stones are ever used
words were provocative
and left an emotional bruise

Sticks and stones may break my bones
but words can break my heart
