Words Can Hurt

Words can hurt, make me feel sad,

when I haven't done anything bad.

Sometimes words that hurt the most,

start as a joke or even a boast.

Words can hurt, drive me around the loop,

I dont like you and your group!

The words you say upset me,

why can't you just let me be?

Words can hurt, ring in my ears,

I wish that I could tell my peers.

You bully me to look cool,

don't you know you're just a fool?

Words can hurt, make me feel blue,

to be off school, I fake the flu.

Even at break, your gang hunts me down,

like a tiger, you make me frown.

Words can hurt, hear my plight,

every day and every night.

In my bedroom, my tears stream,

why can no one hear my scream?

Words can hurt, make me cry,

puts my heart in the sky.

Find the courage, speak up and tell,

then maybe things will turn out well.
