Sticks and Stones

A Poem by A.E. Reed

Sticks and stones

May break my bones

But words can never hurt me

 

I will stand my ground

When you try to knock me down

I’ll be better than you’ll ever be

 

I won’t cry and cry

For each and every lie

Because to me, you mean nothing

 

I will show you up

Show I’ve had enough

I know that you’re bluffing

 

All of it’s a lie

To keep the secrets inside

That’s old news

 

Just know, I’m stronger than I seem

Now give up your little scheme

It was a nice try but you will always lose

Hummm lots of very strong points in the piece. I would love to see your write one stanza in this attitude and in the next give the counter point view. It could lead the reader to a lesson... well done.

I say go and give to a few of them and while you are add it, print out a couple extra for me to give out :pp anyways I like how any one who reads this can tell your the i-take-no-ones-s**t type of girl, and I can respect that. Nicely done

I can relate. It's a good piece that allows for an emotional venting of pent up frustration. It's simple flow and rhyme makes it catch and gives it a smooth tempo to read along with.

Great Ink!

You know what...part of the healing process involves speaking your mind! Some people need to be confronted about their s****y personalities.

So, I won't go crazy with this because I know most people won't read it unless they're your stalker or something. I'm pretty much just a typical girl. I like to have fun and hang out with my friends (.. more..
