Words, Words, Words

They say stick and stones may break my bones

They say words can never hurt me

Bones may heal a thousand times

But words cause pain covertly

The scars build slowly in my heart

They stack upon each other

Slowing life to my brain

Making me grow bitter

You don’t seem to understand

The pain I feel inside

When you try to touch me

Why I run and hide

What is wrong with me I ask

It must be the fault of mine

Why do you  hurt me so?

Why do you walk this line?

I cannot live my life this way

Our children getting older

Asking me.. why do you cry?

Why does your heart grow colder?

So….

I suck up the pain

Choke down my tears

Rip down the wall

I built for years

The time has come

I’ll risk it all

To rise above

To stand up tall

I’ll make a stand

Against this pain

To walk away

To…end….your….reign.
