Lore Me34 - Words

Sticks and stones may break your bones,
but words will never hurt you.

Stupid, lazy, burden, cripple and helpless.
These are just a few of the words I
heard a mother say to a child.
And now, she sits there wondering
why her 35 year old child is not as out
going as I, and why her child seems afraid to even
try.

Well, the reason is as simple as words.

Great, smart, good, able and excellent.
These are the words I heard when I was child.

Yeah, sticks and stone do hurt you,
but so can words.
