Words

Alone.
One word, many uses
Loner
One word, many hurt by it

Stupid, lame, ugly, shame
Words. All words.
Freak, loser, annoying, poser!
Words. Words with one meaning.

We get laughed at, called names
They think it doesn’t hurt
Well they’ve put themselves to shame
You’d be surprised by how much it hurts

Sticks and stones, sticks and stones
They may break your bones
“Names will never hurt me”
Oh, how wrong you can be.

Are you really so foolish?
To believe such idiotic lies!
To fall under their trap
To believe all this crap!

Some day you’ll see
Yes, you’ll see what hurt you’ve brought
Do you understand what you make us be?
Obviously not.

Emo, you say, imposter
You laugh because of the clothes I wear
Just because I don’t dress the same
You call me lame?

Laugh at this, laugh at that
Laugh at him; laugh at her, at me?
Why treat us so terribly?
Because we’re different then you?

Happy, joyful, sappy, smile
Words. Words that aren’t in my vocabulary.
Cheerful, joyous, grin, giddy
Words. Words to which I do not know.

Am I emotionless?
No, but you think so.
Am I cold hearted?
Oh how I wish I were, so that words wouldn’t hurt so much.
