"Sticks and Stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me"

Then why am I crying?!?

Then why do I beat myself up over the words other people label me by?!?

Why do the words hurt me?!?

And why do I bleed when I can't take the words anymore?!?

(For those who self harm; don't. Use a pen or marker and draw on the area you want to hurt. The markings won't last forever and it will relieve the stress. I draw instead of self harm, and it has saved my skin from the sharp end of a blade)
