WordsA Chapter by InsanityWriterJust some words on words...Sticks and stones cannot hurt me.
Words are knives that stab you every day, without a drop of blood. That's why no one ever notices. Words are gravity. They're what pull you down into humiliation whenever a foot is out-stuck in front of your feet. They become the force that drives you so deep into the earth that you cannot claw your way to the surface, and they become the energy that relentlessly keep pushing you downwards. Deeper and deeper ceaselessly. Words turn into that poison that seethes through your veins. That seeps into your mind. That urges you to die. Words turn into lies. All the lies. "I'm okay." "I'm alright." "No, it's fine, no offense taken. None at all."
Words turn into laughs. Empty laughs. Laughs filled with the soul of hollow death that has been drained of all love, light, and happiness. Laughs that slowly kill you. Laughs that are cyanide. Words turn into the putrid vomit. They're what make us so imperfect. We need to fix ourselves. The words told us to. They tell us. They'll ever be telling us. You're no good. Ugly, fat, stupid, retard. You're no good.
The words turn into stomach acid. Empty stomach acid that we need to be rid of if we want to please the words. The words that have become that vomit.
It's so easy, until the words radiate within your own head. The only place where they cannot die. Cannot be forgotten. Cannot disappear.
Words are what beat us down. Words are what bruise us, choke us. They are what humiliates us. They torment us until we cannot and will not survive. They are what drive us to that point at which we are willing to throw ourselves off the cliff of insanity that we did not realize we passed miles back. Words kill us. They kill us on the inside, so we want to die on the outside.
