minus-squareEmpathicVagrant@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-21 year ago“At least I never hit you!” “If I did that at your age I’d get beat.” “I got the belt for talking back” Yeah I wish I had the validity of physical scars, nobody sees the ones words leave. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but soon the sting will pass But names can dig so many graves, you won’t know where to stand.
