Yelled Words

The yelled words

The words you want so much to ignore

The ones you pray about at night

That you just want to leave your mind

You wonder

Are they true

Are what they say really me

Am I this

Am I that

People say ignore it

Just let it brush off

I can’t though

The words go through my ears

They stay in my mind

I can’t let it brush off

When its like daggers

Directly to my heart

The people I love

I thought they thought of me better

I thought they had loving words to say

As I do for them

I wonder if what they say to me

Is truly what they believe

Or truly what they see

These words

They eat at me

So don’t tell me to ignore them

They’re like bees

Stinging me over and over

Like mosquito bites

They hurt at first

Then they just itch

But if you itch too much

They hurt again

If you keep finding those words

They’ll hurt like the first day said

I can’t ignore the yelled words

Just got to say what I know

Say what I know I am

A great person

A great friend
