Who ever coined the phrase
"Sticks & stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me"
May need to rethink their position
See sticks & stones may cause physical damage
But we were designed to repair ourselves
Emotional, mental, heartfelt scars heal more slowly & take more effort to heal
Words that come out based on emotion...
Actions that leave one feeling cold & barren
Fed up..
They cut like a knife
Not producing blood but needing bandages all the same
Causing walls to be built
Locks to be placed
Insensitivity a defense
Cutting yourself off from the things that could cause happiness
Not trusting your instincts
Not wanting to be cut again
You hear "That cut me deep"
But until you've lived it
You don't really understand how it feels
To be cut LIKE a knife
