Sticks and Stones
Stick and stones will break my bones but words will never break me first appeared in 1862, but have the times changed? Now we sit and exchange words behind a screen and have no social interaction. With sticks and stones you can see the pain you are causing someone but with the tongue, you'll never know. Every word that comes out of your mouth is like rocks being shot out of a catapult aiming straight for my heart. The stories you tell beat me and leave me breathless. Your tongue haunts me when the lights go off and all I hear is your voice. Your voice, follows me into the shower, into my bed, down the hallway, you are wherever I am. Sticks and stones might break my bones but your words might kill me first.
