Words can still hurt

just needing someone to listen

I may have a boyfriend

I may have a life

But words do still hurt

They cut like a knife

I'm just like you

I'm only me

And that is all 

I'll ever be

My life isn't perfect

They call me names

Behind my back

I'll start to believe them

When they call me fat

Sometimes I seriously want to die

And you think I have a perfect life

But I don't

It sucks

Every bit

Just as much

As you think yours does

So get over yourself

Open your eyes

Cuz joy isn't measured

In friends

And guys

Words can be more painful than a slap in the face. One should always be aware of their words, written or spoken... before another gets wind of them.
My advice... be yourself... always. Whether you are writing words for just yourself or for others to read.

Shallow words should have no mark on a heart such as this :)
