How destructive bulling can be, especially at younger ages!

V1:
Avoiding assaults and a black eye at all costs
It's now normal for some 'jazz' to be late to a class
He'd rather go hungry than hang on to money
Recess ain't no gas, only goes with a hall-pass

V2:
In the dark he used to cry until tears ran dry
Feelings left in the bin, or bottled to the brim
One day he will break and the earth will shake
Some might say it's not a sin, but the headlines will be grim

Chorus:
Sticks and stones may break our bones
But words can slash through our consciousness
Flesh can heal, but the way we feel
Can scar in ways that are (dangerous/serious)

V3:
She used to live in fear of the wicked things she'd hear
Mean girls don't need guns, just poisonous tongues
But she found a way to keep the pain at bay
You can cope when you're numb, and pretend you are dumb

V4:
Soon the innocent became the party flint
A gratifying toy for every popular boy
Her self-esteem would never recover, forever
From what she thought the ploy to the secret of joy

Chorus:
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But words can slash through consciousness
Flesh can heal, but the way we feel
Can scar in ways that are (dangerous/serious)
