Sticks and stones may break my bones

Casey Thomas

 

Sticks and stones may break my bones, 

but heartless words cut deeper; 

for wood and stone harm flesh alone, 

but language costs are steeper.

 

 

Your words are like
daggers to my heart,
and toxic to my soul.

 

Don’t let words that pierce your soul

make you feel less than whole.
With your head held high

turn away from the toxic relationship 

and say Goodbye! 

 

Words like arrows 

will pierce our heart,
we carry them with us 

the wound never to seal.
And with our heads hanging down,
we stumble on only never to heal. 

The words you shoot,
Pierces straight through my heart.

Wounds scar the flesh, 
But words scar the soul.

 

Harsh words hurt the heart
not the body parts.

 

 

Harsh words pierce deeper
than an arrow!

 

 

 In the end,
it was his words
that killed her.

 

 

The wound of words so sharp
pierce through deep inside
our hearts

 

 

Words CAN hurt us
