Sticks and Stones

Sticks and stones

May break my bones

But words can never hurt me

 

I will stand my ground

When you try to knock me down

I’ll be better than you’ll ever be

 

I won’t cry and cry

For each and every lie

Because to me, you mean nothing

 

I will show you up

Show I’ve had enough

I know that you’re bluffing

 

All of it’s a lie

To keep the secrets inside

That’s old news

 

Just know, I’m stronger than I seem

Now give up your little scheme

It was a nice try but you will always lose

Author's Note

Needed to vent. -.- Wish I could actually tell some people this.

Hummm lots of very strong points in the piece. I would love to see your write one stanza in this attitude and in the next give the counter point view. It could lead the reader to a lesson... well done.

I say go and give to a few of them and while you are add it, print out a couple extra for me to give out :pp anyways I like how any one who reads this can tell your the i-take-no-ones-s**t type of girl, and I can respect that. Nicely done

Like the way you use the old children`s rhyme and add a lot of true words to it
Good write.

Venting is very good. I do it all the time. XD I like the poem. I thought it was very good:) The flow was perfect. Great job and keep up the good wokr!:)

[Wolfwind]

I can relate. It's a good piece that allows for an emotional venting of pent up frustration. It's simple flow and rhyme makes it catch and gives it a smooth tempo to read along with.

Great Ink!

You know what...part of the healing process involves speaking your mind! Some people need to be confronted about their s****y personalities.

I like it... a lot. We all have moments where we need to vent and you did a great job:D I dont know what you're going through but Im glad you realize the other person cant hurt you with their words. Great write!
