A poem about the effects of emotional abuse.
Words

You are nothing!
Never have been, never will be.

Words. Words don't leave scars,
Words don't leave bruises.

You will never make it in this world.
Why do you even bother?

Words. Words don't leave scars,
Words don't leave bruises.

I am nothing!
Never have been, never will be.

Words. Words can leave scars.
Words can leave bruises.

I will never make it in this world.
Why do I even try?

Words. Words do leave scars.
Words do leave bruises.
