The Ultimate Weapon Poem by Joseph Ortega

They say sticks and stones may break my bones,
But words will never hurt me,
Yet it's words that Pierce through the skin faster than any weapon,
Your sticks and stones may break me,
Yet the pain of that can fade away,
But a single word can cause pain for eternity,
A Pain that we never forget,
A pain that forever haunts us in our sleep,
It's like a wound that never scars,
It just keeps open as a reminder,
A reminder of the day when we realized
Our hearts can be damaged.
