Words Poem by Christina Wilson

Sticks and stones may break my bones
But words will break my confidence
Words will break my trust
Words will linger in my head
Until I forget who I was
Words will linger in my head
Until who I was becomes who I was
They say words won't make me bleed
But words will make me touch rock bottom
Drowning in my tears
Created seas
I was a child when I first started being bullied
The words started out small
Children being children
But words are like tattoos
Permanently engraved in my being
Because words become beliefs
Once your forced to start agreeing.
