Words

You say this

Or that

But do you understand

That it beats down on me

Like a rainstorm

Except a rainstorm doesn't hurt

Unlike this

Don’t you know?

That words are more powerful than actions

Do you know that it hurts?

Even if I don’t show it

It beats down

On me like a baseball bat

And here’s the newsflash

It’s not the greatest feeling

Next time maybe I will say it back

You’ll see the charade I put up with all the time

And you’ll find that it hurts you

Just as it hurts me
