Words cut even deeper


Sticks and stones
Do break your bones
And words
Cut even deeper

With harmful thoughts
Dressed in innocent pose
Betrayed by eyes
That do expose

So called friends
Who bleed you dry
And are never there
Except to pry

To them I say
I do not need you
And with my life
I’ll no longer feed you
