Verbal Spears

 
Verbal Spears,
Whizzing by these insults fly some piercing through my heart
simple comments, gestures, looks can tear me apart
you want to be cool and popular so you say these things to me
but since when did you have to be so hurtful just to gain popularity?

Yeah I get it I'm not as old as you or I’m in a different school
but that never means you have the right to make me feel like a fool
Why are you so discontent with the words that I am saying
you make fun of my actions then say your only playing

This pain I feel deep in my heart is caused by mainly you
I’ve tried to spell it out but when you're so defensive it becomes so hard to do
 you could probably say this is an S.O.S. 
because I know my worth and I'm tired of feeling any less

I wish I could say I no longer care, but the truth is I really do
that's why I'm trying to explain myself to you

I don’t want to build a shell to cover up my feelings
so when you grow up and can be nice come talk to me, I’ll tell you how I'm healing
Because even if I overcome it, it doesn’t mean I wasn't reeling 
But I still love you because I know if you understood this wouldn’t be so appealing
I know that if you felt my pain you would say sorry and be kneeling
I also understand so just look up at the ceiling 

I’ve made my mistakes as well, and I just have to pray to the lord
because he is our rock and shield when others use their sword.

*Disclaimer I wrote this poem to lots of different people I have met along the way but the main message is kind of just saying that "yeah you hurt me, but I know you're probably hurting and you don't realize what you're doing. But you'll be back one day and I'll be there to guide you and show you not only that you hurt me but that I healed over time and I forgive you"....also that last little section with all the "eelings" (all the ways I rhymed with feeling) I apologize for that because I was just kind of messing around and I just was kind of testing how many ways I could rhyme with feeling without looking it up or anything so yeah sorry about that, Thanks!
